I designed a query to display results in which the zip code (text format) is within a zipcode range in another table. for particular range (see below) I am getting wrong result.
Ex : zip code 60025 is coming between 6000 and 6099.
it is greater than equal to 6000 - OK
It is less than equal to 6099 - NO (but I am still getting this result)

Can you please help me find the issue. I defined all zipcodes as Text as some zipcodes are alphanumneric.
 

Excel Facts

Ambidextrous Undo
Undo last command with Ctrl+Z or Alt+Backspace. If you use the Undo icon in the QAT, open the drop-down arrow to undo up to 100 steps.
Do you realise how Access compares values?

I'm not sure if I can give a thorough explanation but if you are comparing text then it'll be regarded as text, not numbers.

So it will be sorted/filtered alphanumerically not numerically.

That's unless you convert to numbers, and there are plenty of conversion functions in Access.:)
