I have a form based on this query:

CODE
SELECT qryReservationsMC.*, IIf([AddedToOutlook]=True,"*","|") AS Status
FROM qryReservationsMC
WHERE (((qryReservationsMC.EndDate)>=Format([Forms]![frmCalendar]![txtDate],"Short Date")) AND ((qryReservationsMC.StartDate)<=Format([Forms]![frmCalendar]![txtDate],"Short Date")));


It gives me an error "the expression is typed incorrectly or is too complicated..." I think I need "#" for the dates.

Any help?

Don't use the Format function: that actually converts the value to text, which is part of your problem. Instead, declare the parameter as Date:

CODE
PARAMETERS [Forms]![frmCalendar]![txtDate] DateTime;
SELECT qryReservationsMC.*, IIf([AddedToOutlook]=True,"*","|") AS Status
FROM qryReservationsMC
WHERE qryReservationsMC.EndDate)>=[Forms]![frmCalendar]![txtDate]
AND qryReservationsMC.StartDate)<=[Forms]![frmCalendar]![txtDate];


(Yes, that's a semi-colon between DateTime and SELECT!)
