I dont understand the need for a loop to assign control values when only a single value can be displayed in the textbox and datepicker at a time. Also Im a bit confused by the naming conventions, a prefix for txt for a datepicker and your saying your looking for a date but the select statement shows your querying a field named "Name".

Your SQL syntax is invalid. Typically you use Distinct() on a single column. I'm not sure if this is the exact syntax with Access but this is how it would work in MSSQL:

 Help with Code Tags 
 sql Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
SELECT Model, Make, Problem, HP
FROM Makers
GROUP BY Model, Make, Problem, HP
ORDER BY Model, Make, Problem, HP --This is an optional ordering line
Select Model, Make, Problem, HP
From Makers
Group By Model, Make, Problem, HP
Order By Model, Make, Problem, HP --This is an optional ordering line

It should be similar for access.
