Question

I am trying to join 3 tables with the following sql statement

Select      Sum(OrderDetail_table.Price * orderDetail_table.quantity) as totalPrice,     item_table.GLacct  from      OrderDetail_table      left outer join order_table on          orderDetail_table.orderID = order_table.orderid      left outer join item_table on          item_table.itemID = orderDetail_table.itemID  where      Order_table.invoiceDate = #01/31/2009#  group by      item_table.glacct 

The error message I am getting is:

‘Syntax error(missing operator) in query expression ‘orderDetail_table.OrderID = order_table.orderid left outer join item_table on item_table.itemID = orderDetail_table.itemID’.’

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I want it always return the Sum of the orderDetail_table.price * orderDetail_table.quantity, there might not be an item_table.GLAcct for an orderDEtail_table.ItemID

Try brackets:

Select     Sum(OrderDetail_table.Price * orderDetail_table.quantity) as totalPrice,     item_table.GLacct  from      (OrderDetail_table      left outer join order_table on          orderDetail_table.orderID = order_table.orderid)      left outer join item_table on          item_table.itemID = orderDetail_table.itemID where      Order_table.invoiceDate = #01/31/2009# group by      item_table.glacct
