Access queries

When I try to run and create a query to pull out all of my stockists who we want to sell to (from a Status--- 'want' table), it returns no results. The query doesn't say it has any problems though, what am I doing wrong?

thanks,
Lucy

SELECT Retailer.RetailerID, Retailer.Name, Retailer.Status
FROM Retailer INNER JOIN Branch ON Retailer.RetailerID = Branch.RetailerID

RE: Access queries

Thanks Lucy

The SQL statement gives me a quick look at what you are trying to create. The basic statement looks fine, and what it looks like is that you are filtering using a variable [the status].

1 .
What I suggest is removing the criteria from the query, and seeing what results you get.

2.
If you get the records showing, then add just a simple critieria (ie. Yes - or whatever one of the values are).

3.
That should then filter the results yuo are looking for. If that works, then you know that the [the status] field is the issue.


If 1-3 return no results, then I suggest you look at the way you built the relationships between the tables. From what it looks like, it is just two tables, with a relationship on [RetailerID].

If this is the case, then check the type of relationship, by clicking on the line between the two tables. There should be 3 options, and depending on which one you choose, the results will differ. Generally Option 1 will give you the standard results, whereas 2 and 3 are more customised, and sometimes do not return any values.


Let me know if that helps.

Regards

Richard

Access tip:

Copy a Previous Record's Values to a New Record

If you often enter the same value in one field of a table, there are two methods to save re-typing the data.

1. Use Ctrl+' (apostrophe) to repeat the value input in the previous record.

2. Change the field's DefaultValue property in Design View to the most commonly used value.
