From: sheri on 8 Oct 2009 16:54 The results are that every check is matched with every deposit. Does that help. I tried changing the Join to left in the SQL view and it said it wasn't supported.

From: Klatuu on 8 Oct 2009 17:19 That helps some. In the query builder, there should be a line between the main table and the other tables. If you right click on the line to get a dialog that shows the join type, try choosing the option to show all the records in the main table and only matching record is the other tables. This will not give you exactly what you want, but if we can get that far, we can work it from there. -- Dave Hargis, Microsoft Access MVP "sheri" wrote: > The results are that every check is matched with every deposit.

From: sheri on 8 Oct 2009 17:40 I don't have a "main table" per se. I tried changing one of the joins and now it's saying "The SQL statement could not be executed because it contains ambiguous outer joins. To force one of the joins to be performed first, create a separate query that performs the first join and then include that query in your SQL statement. (Error 3258)" So, I'll try doing that.

From: Klatuu on 8 Oct 2009 17:48 Unless I am mistaken, in this case, Expenses SPA DEV would be your main table. -- Dave Hargis, Microsoft Access MVP "sheri" wrote: > I don't have a "main table" per se.

From: sheri on 8 Oct 2009 17:54 Okay so I wrote a query to identify all allocated donations (ones with an ID) and then I wrote another query using that query and adding the expenses table but it still gives me multiple records no matter how the join is performed.
