Trying to compare four different phone numbers from two different tables to find like values (1 Viewer)

[gojets1721]

So I've got two tables: Customers and Employees. For each group, there is a home phone and mobile phone listed. I've attached a very simple example DB

I'm trying to use a query to key in on matches in the phone numbers across the two tables. So if person 1's home phone in table1 matches a mobile in table2, boom that's a match. If person 2's mobile phone in table1 matches a home phone in table2, boom that's a match. And so on.

I thought it'd be fairly simple but its turned into quite a headache because it's four total fields and I'm unsure how to best design it. Any thoughts?

Hi. Is this the result you're expecting from your sample data?

SELECT
  tblCustomers.CustomerID,
  tblCustomers.CustomerHomePhone as PhoneNumber,
  "Home Phone" as Phone_Type
FROM tblCustomers
  WHERE Customerhomephone is not null
UNION SELECT
  tblCustomers.CustomerID,
  tblCustomers.CustomerMobilePhone,
  "Mobile " as Phone_Type
FROM tblCustomers
  Where CustomerMobilePhone is not null;

Yes exactly

Yes exactly

Okay, just in case it helps, here's the SQL statement I used.

SELECT tblCustomers.CustomerID, tblEmployees.EmployeeID, tblCustomers.CustomerHomePhone, tblEmployees.EmployeeMobilePhone, tblCustomers.CustomerMobilePhone, tblEmployees.EmployeeHomePhone
FROM tblCustomers, tblEmployees
WHERE (((tblCustomers.CustomerHomePhone)=[tblEmployees].[EmployeeMobilePhone])) OR (((tblEmployees.EmployeeHomePhone)=[tblCustomers].[CustomerMobilePhone])) OR (((tblCustomers.CustomerMobilePhone)=[tblEmployees].[EmployeeHomePhone])) OR (((tblEmployees.EmployeeMobilePhone)=[tblCustomers].[CustomerHomePhone]));

SELECT tblCustomers.CustomerID,
tblCustomers.CustomerFirstName,
tblCustomers.CustomerLastName,
tblEmployees.EmployeeID,
tblEmployees.EmployeeFirstName,
tblEmployees.EmployeeLastName
FROM tblCustomers, tblEmployees
WHERE ((("|" & [CustomerHomePhone] & "|" & [CustomerMobilePhone] & "|") Like "*|" & Nz([EmployeeHomePhone],"~") & "|*")) OR ((("|" & [CustomerHomePhone] & "|" & [CustomerMobilePhone] & "|") Like "*|" & Nz([EmployeeMobilePhone],"~") & "|*"));
