From: cowichandave on 9 Dec 2009 12:51 Doing a query on our accounting database for which am using 4 tables. Client, Product, Detail, Serial number Client is linked to Product by ClientID # Product is linked to Detail by Invoice # (both keyed) I have a date filter and this portion of the query works fine I have tried different ways to link the serial table but the final query only displays those results that have serial numbers. Not every invoice has a serial number. I cannot modify the accounting program tables. So instead os showing me 2000 records which is correct but adding the serial table limits the query to 35 records. I need the 2000 records to include serial number data. What am I missing? I have tried linking the Detail table: linecode with the Serial table:linecode -- CowichanDave
From: Jeff Boyce on 9 Dec 2009 13:04 Without seeing the SQL statement, I can only guess ... If you are using an "equi-join" (show all of the fields when the tables have matching IDs), you'll only see the records when there are matches. If you use a 'directional' join (my term), you can tell Access to show you ALL qualifying records from Table1, and ANY data from Table2 if there is a match. In your SQL statement, are the terms "LEFT" or "RIGHT" preceeding "JOIN"?

From: cowichandave on 9 Dec 2009 13:41 Figured it out. Have to learn to read more posts. Sometimes the answer is not in the header but answered within a post that may be unrelated. This group is terrific.
