Question

In Microsoft Access, I am trying to create a report by combining data from two tables in to a listbox:

Table One Holds the ISBN (which is like the bookID):

tbl_StudentOrderLine:

   ISBN  Qty  Price  StudentPurchaseID
    1224  1    6         12

tbl_Books:

ISBN  BookTitle  Author
1224    Random   Someone

I would like to produce listbox to show the details for each book where the ISBN matches the ISBN in the tbl_StudentOrderLine and the only ISBNs shown are the ones with StudentPurchaseID = 12

It doesn’t have to be a listbox to show the results, any ideas will be helpful

I have tried a UNION ALL and Have tried creating multiple listboxes but nothing seems to work so any help is much appreciated!!

Answer 1

Have you tried using a JOIN?

Something like

SELECT  *
FROM    tbl_StudentOrderLine sol INNER JOIN
        tbl_Books b ON  sol.ISBN = b.ISBN
WHERE   so.StudentPurchaseID = 12

Have a look at this tutorial, always helpfull.
