why is it that as soon as you fix one problem another one needs dealing with :mad:

OK, the problem i have is that i have a BE/FE configuration database in a multiuser environment. I have built all the tables and the relationships in the BE configuration. In the FE configurations i have built the main forms to input data. It has no come to the point where i have begun to create the queries to allow reporting and data searching. And this is where i have a problem. I am trying to create a simply query and i do mean simple (at the moment i simply want 2 fields from 1 table and 2 fields from another table) no calculations or anything i just want it to display the data. I have tried creating this query numerous times and i keep getting the same error.

"The wizard is unable to open your query in datasheet view, possibly because another user has a source table open in exclusive mode. Your query will be opened in design view"

the above is the error i get when i use a wizard to create the query, after getting this message and going into design view i try to view the results in datasheet view and get the following error "Type Mismatch in expression"

If i dont use a wizard and create it in design view, when i go to view the results i get the second error message everytime.

If i create a query from 1 table only the query works without errors, but i always get errors when i have more than one table in the query.

Also i am the only person with the database open so therefore it is total impossible for the database to be open by another user in exclusive mode.

Anyone know what the problem might be or how to fix. Your answers will be very much appreciated.
 
Problem Solved!!!!!!!!

when i checked the table structure of the tables involved in creating the query i found that the foreign key was set to a text data type and not a number Long integer. As soon as this was changed the queries could created.
