    SELECT [MENU].[C_MENU], [MENU].[C_REC], [AUTO].[C_GROUP]
FROM [MENU]
LEFT JOIN [AUTO] ON [MENU].[C_MENU]=[AUTO].[C_GROUP]

    Been almost a year since I looked at Access, but I remember it being very finicky about syntax, so you’re always better off square-bracketing everything, and including the word “INNER” when you mean “INNER JOIN”, instead of using just “JOIN”. But you wanted an “OUTER JOIN”, you said?
