All data D-report3 D-report3-Code2-Final d-report3-code3-f Thanks for your time pbaldy 01-13-2009, 09:35 AM Sure, should be no problem. aerosmith 01-13-2009, 09:42 AM im trying this SELECT D-Report-3-Code1-Final.Created_By, D-Report-3-Code1-Final.Rcode, D-Report-3-Code1-Final.Amount, FROM D-Report-3-Code1-Final UNION SELECT D-Report-3-Code2-Final.Created_By, D-Report-3-Code2-Final.Rcode, D-Report-3-Code2-Final.Amount, FROM D-Report-3-Code2-Final UNION SELECT D-Report-3-Code3-Final.Created_By, D-Report-3-Code3-Final.Rcode, D-Report-3-Code3-Final.Amount, FROM D-Report-3-Code3-Final; and not getting very far MSAccessRookie 01-13-2009, 09:50 AM im trying this SELECT D-Report-3-Code1-Final.Created_By, D-Report-3-Code1-Final.Rcode, D-Report-3-Code1-Final.Amount, FROM D-Report-3-Code1-Final UNION SELECT D-Report-3-Code2-Final.Created_By, D-Report-3-Code2-Final.Rcode, D-Report-3-Code2-Final.Amount, FROM D-Report-3-Code2-Final UNION SELECT D-Report-3-Code3-Final.Created_By, D-Report-3-Code3-Final.Rcode, D-Report-3-Code3-Final.Amount, FROM D-Report-3-Code3-Final; and not getting very far When I reformatted your query, I spotted some errors: SELECT D-Report-3-Code1-Final.Created_By, D-Report-3-Code1-Final.Rcode, D-Report-3-Code1-Final.Amount, FROM D-Report-3-Code1-Final UNION SELECT D-Report-3-Code2-Final.Created_By, D-Report-3-Code2-Final.Rcode, D-Report-3-Code2-Final.Amount, FROM D-Report-3-Code2-Final UNION SELECT D-Report-3-Code3-Final.Created_By, D-Report-3-Code3-Final.Rcode, D-Report-3-Code3-Final.Amount, FROM D-Report-3-Code3-Final; The final item in your SELECT group (the one before the FROM) should not have a ",". Remove these and try again. aerosmith 01-13-2009, 09:54 AM SELECT D-Report-3-Code1-Final.Created_By, D-Report-3-Code1-Final.Rcode, D-Report-3-Code1-Final.Amount FROM D-Report-3-Code1-Final UNION SELECT D-Report-3-Code2-Final.Created_By, D-Report-3-Code2-Final.Rcode, D-Report-3-Code2-Final.Amount FROM D-Report-3-Code2-Final UNION SELECT D-Report-3-Code3-Final.Created_By, D-Report-3-Code3-Final.Rcode, D-Report-3-Code3-Final.Amount FROM D-Report-3-Code3-Final; Im getting syntax error in from clause pbaldy 01-13-2009, 09:54 AM Due to the inadvisable symbols, you would also have to bracket the names. accessaspire219 01-20-2009, 09:13 AM Hi, I am looking to join 2 queries, with similar columns, the second query has a few columns less compared to the first query. I am using the union query to obtain a result which contains the records from both queries. The code I am using is: SELECT B44MinPO.material, B44MinPO.plant, B44MinPO.cs_qty, B44MinPO.buyer, B44MinPO.B44 Stock, B44MinPO.B44 Pallet, B44MinPO.EBELN, B44MinPO.OPEN_QTY, B44MinPO.WERKS, B44MinPO.DUEDT, FROM B44MinPO UNION SELECT B44NoPO.material, B44NOPO.plant, B44NOPO.cs_qty, B44NOPO.buyer, B44NOPO.B44 Stock, B44NOPO.B44 Pallet, FROM B44NOPO; However, this is giving me a syntax error - 3075 - saying -- Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression B44MinPO.B44 Stock I have no clue why this is happening, can anyone help?? Thanks. MSAccessRookie 01-20-2009, 09:25 AM Hi, I am looking to join 2 queries, with similar columns, the second query has a few columns less compared to the first query.

Thanks. Posting a new problem on a new thread can help you to get assistance faster, and makes it easier to follow issues for the people who are readinjg along to learn. As for your issue, I see at least two issues to address: The Union Query should not work, and should return a message indicating that the two queries do not have the same number or type of columns. UNION Queries require that the combined queries not only have the same number of columns, but the same type of column in each position. To remediate this, you can add placeholder columns for any that are missing, in order to align the columns properly. You have Commas "," following the last entry (before the FROM). The last entry does not need the ",". Remove these. FOLLOW-UP: pbaldy makes two additional good points I missed the fact that some of your column names contained spaces. If then need to stay that way, surrounding them with brackets ("[" and "]") will be necessary as well. I assumed that all of your fields were strings. If they are numbers, then you need a default value such as 0 pbaldy 01-20-2009, 09:27 AM Spaces are also inadvisable, and also require the use of brackets. The next error you'll run into is that a UNION query requires the same number of fields in each SELECT clause. You can use placeholders for the needed fields in the second SELECT, such as: ...0 AS EBELN, ... LPurvis 01-20-2009, 10:19 AM And unless you are specifically looking to eliminate duplicates - I'd always advise using UNION ALL by default - it can easily make a noticable difference. And aliasing is a wonderful thing. Avail yourself of it. :-) Nasty looking (and awkward to read) queries suddenly take on a clarity otherwise obfuscated.
