MS Query references

Well, I need to have month function built in into MS Query to use for several reports. I'm using MS Query to edit my SQL statement. Does anybody familiar with MS Query and could show me where I should go to get my reference set up for MS Query? Month function shows under MS Access and MS Excel, and it should be able for use under MS Query as well. It must be hidden somewhere or the reference gets all messed up. Any idea, anybody? :)
Well, I have my own reason to use MS Query instead of MS access, since it's much easier and at ease for external data from a big database.
Thanks in advance.
