Hi all, I am currently having a problem with the outer join method.
I have a query in my database:
MasterList2_Query.

I create a query named Step1 which refer to MasterList2_Query.
I create another query named Step2 which also refer to MasterList2_Query.
Then I create the last query named Step3, which I try to join some columns from Step1 to Step2.


Below is my Step3 sql statement:

SELECT Step1.fldProductNameA, Step2.AreaB, Step2.fldProductNameB, Step2.MSDSNumB, Step2.idxManufacturerB
FROM Step2 RIGHT JOIN Step1 ON Step1.AreaA = Step2.AreaB;

And it gives a prompt to enter the "Step2.fldProductName" manually, there is no "Step2.fldProductName" in my Step2 query, there is only "fldProductNameB", "fldProductNameB" only exist on MasterList2_Query, where all the Step(s) queries refer to. I checked and re-checked, modifying and trying every possibilitiee as possible but I find my statement logically correct and doesn't know what's wrong with it. Any help would be much much appreciated.

please post ddl for all queries. Don't forget to use the code button in the online editor to format your code (it has the '#' symbol on it)
