Access Query Problem

    I am having some difficulty with a simple query I am trying run against an access DB.

    I need to return all records that have been created against an [opened date] field.

    I need the query to look at the [opened date] then calculate the date for the previous 5 working days and return the records for that query.

    here is what I am trying at the moment

    =dateadd("w", -5, [Opened Date])

    it returns no records.

    however, when I change the -5 to >5 or <5 it returns all the records.

    anyone any ideas?

    **Edit**

    After reading what I wrote I have just had an epiphany, it would make no sense it trying to run that as it would always return true.

    I have a second condition which I wanted the query to run against until the user had selected it (checkbox)

    I think I may have it now, if I run it against todays date - opened date and see if that falls into the 5 day range, that should give me what I want. I will also have a second query to catch anything which has not met the second condition but falls outside the 5 day range, I think thats it.
