I am trying to join three tables in Access and I keep getting a syntax error:
syntax error in query expression r.intRegID = i.intRegID JOIN tbl_Categories c on i.intCategoryID=c.intCategoryID
The full query is:
SELECT *
from tbl_RegistrationInfo r INNER JOIN tbl_Ideas i
on r.intRegID = i.intRegID JOIN tbl_Categories c
on i.intCategoryID=c.intCategoryID
where i.intIdeaID=4
ORDER BY i.DateCreated
THe common key for the tables tbl_RegistrationInfo and tbl_Ideas is intRegID.
THe common key for the tables tbl_Ideas and tbl_Categories is intCategoryID.
And finally the user provides a value for the "idea" (i.intIdeaID=4).
I tried :
SELECT *
from tbl_RegistrationInfo r INNER JOIN tbl_Ideas i
on r.intRegID = i.intRegID JOIN tbl_Categories c
on i.intCategoryID=c.intCategoryID
where i.intIdeaID=4
ORDER BY i.DateCreated
I get a 'syntax error in from clause'
I can't seem to find the error and it is driving me nuts. Can someone please help? |

In Access, you need to use parenthesis in your join clauses, you cannot just list them out one after another like you can in T-SQL. Try using the Access query designer to do the join first, and then check out the SQL it generates.
