Question

I am trying to compare two tables in ms access 2007 to find matches from the tables which I know to have one field in common. When I try to run the following query

SELECT
FROM FirstTrial INNER JOIN ConsolidatedDatabase 
ON FirstTrial.ModelNumbr = ConsolidatedDatabase.ModelNumbr;

I get an error ‘Query must have at least one destination field’

What do I need to change in order to make the query work?

Answer 1

You need some fields:

SELECT *
FROM FirstTrial INNER JOIN ConsolidatedDatabase 
ON FirstTrial.ModelNumbr = ConsolidatedDatabase.ModelNumbr;

It would be better to put some names instead of *

In MS Access, you can use the query design window.
