Hi All
I have these three ultra simple tables.
When I add Table_A to the query editor with this query
SELECT TABLE_A.[TABLE_A DATA VALUE] FROM TABLE_A;
It returns 6 records - which I would expect.
However, when I add TABLE_B into the editor
SELECT TABLE_A.[TABLE_A DATA VALUE] FROM TABLE_A, TABLE_B;
It returns 18 records
And when I then add TABLE_C into the editor
SELECT TABLE_A.[TABLE_A DATA VALUE] FROM TABLE_A, TABLE_B, TABLE_C;
It returns 108 records.
I know its adding all of the rows from the other tables - but since I didn't add those rows within the SQL query itself - I 'm surprised it added them in the results.
This must be an inherent characteristic of the Access query editor?
This makes me think there is some kind of join going on - by default - is there?
