Union Queries

Hi, I would like to merge two columns in two seperate tables which are linked together by a common ID ref number. The columns have the same title.

Can you please explain how to do this.

There is a query already set up in Access which does this for other fields, but this has been created using SQL adn I do not understand it. If I click on the design view to review the query, all I get is SQL code.

RE: Union Queries

Hi Vishal

Thank you for your question

Union queries can only be written in SQL as Access's query builder will not create Union Queries. All I can suggest is changing the field names in the existing query so that they reflect the data you want to merge.
Alternatively, if you like, you could copy the SQL into a post along with and example of the names of the new fields and tables and I can rewrite the SQL for you

Regards

Stephen
