Info

Note that MS Access insists that you place brackets around joins where there are multiple joins, so you need to rewrite the preceding <strong>SQL</strong> as follows: SELECT FirstName, LastName, Category.Category FROM (MemberDetails INNER JOIN FavCategory ON MemberDetails.MemberId = FavCategory.MemberId) INNER JOIN Category ON FavCategory.CategoryId = Category.CategoryId ORDER BY LastName, FirstName; Selecting Data from Different Tables Notice the inner join on the MemberDetails and FavCategory tables. The results of that inner join are then joined with the Category table. This query produces the following results: FirstName LastName Category Stuart Dales Thriller Stuart Dales War Stuart Dales Historical Stuart Dales Comedy William Doors Sci-fi William Doors Horror Steve Gee Sci-fi Steve Gee Comedy Jamie Hills War Jamie Hills Sci-fi Jamie Hills Horror Jenny Jones War Jenny Jones Comedy John Jones Thriller Doris Night Romance Doris Night Historical Susie Simons Historical Susie Simons Horror Susie Simons Thriller Katie Smith Romance Katie Smith War 211
