DBType = Access 2003
Tables = tblType, tblOwners, tblStoreData
tblType has TypeID, TypeName
tblOwners has OwnerID, OwnerName
tblStoreData has TypeID, OwnerID, plus too many others to list, they're not
important here

I have an inner join that's giving me fits. It is:

strSQL = "SELECT * FROM (tblStoreData " _
       & "INNER JOIN tblOwners ON tblStoreData.OwnerID = tblOwners.OwnerID) " _
       & "INNER JOIN tblType ON tblStoreData.TypeID = tblType.TypeID "


If I take the 2nd INNER JOIN out, it works fine, if I take out the 1st INNER JOIN it breaks, so it's obviously the 2nd INNER JOIN that's the problem.
When I run the report that calls this SQL statement, it tells me "The
specified field 'TypeID' could refer to more than one table listed in the FROM clause of your SQL statement."

Does anyone have any ideas for me?

Thanks!

Have you tried to execute the query in Access? Does it give any errors (which is unlikely)?

not sure about the parentheses - try removing them. your join conditions look fine to me.

Rui,
Yes, it is when I run this in Access when I get the error.

Pdrq, the parentheses need to be there. Without them, I get a syntax error: "Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression 'tblStoreData.OwnerID = tblOwners.OwnerID INNER JOIN tblType on tblStoreData.TypeID = tblType.TypeID'.

And, I've done some more research and findings. This query is built into a report, the report is called by a form. The form has two option groups to apply filters. It is only when the "type" option group is filtered that it gives me fits. If the "type" filter is not applied then it works fine, it even works fine when the other filter "include" is applied. I will copy the forms apply filter sub.

Thanks!

h

Private Sub Apply_Filter()
strFilter = Null
Me.tglNonTraditional.Enabled = False
Me.tglUpcomingStores.Enabled = False
If Me.cboOwner <> "" Or Not IsNull(Me.cboOwner) Then
    strFilter = "OwnerID = " & Me.cboOwner
End If
Select Case Me.ogType
Case 1
    Me.tglNonTraditional.Enabled = False
    Me.ogReports = 1
Case 2
    Me.tglNonTraditional.Enabled = False
    Me.ogReports = 1
    If Not IsNull(strFilter) Then strFilter = strFilter & " And "
    strFilter = strFilter & "TypeID = 1"
Case 3
    Me.tglNonTraditional.Enabled = True
    Me.ogReports = 4
    If Not IsNull(strFilter) Then strFilter = strFilter & " And "
    strFilter = strFilter & "TypeID <> 1"
End Select
Select Case Me.ogInclude
Case 1
    Me.tglUpcomingStores.Enabled = False
    If Me.ogType <> 3 Then Me.ogReports = 1 Else Me.ogReports = 4
Case 2
    Me.tglUpcomingStores.Enabled = False
    If Me.ogType <> 3 Then Me.ogReports = 1 Else Me.ogReports = 4
    If Not IsNull(strFilter) Then strFilter = strFilter & " And "
    strFilter = strFilter & "StoreOpen = True"
Case 3
    Me.tglUpcomingStores.Enabled = True
    Me.ogReports = 5
    If Not IsNull(strFilter) Then strFilter = strFilter & " And "
    strFilter = strFilter & "StoreOpen = False"
End Select
If IsNull(strFilter) Then
    Me.FilterOn = False
Else
    Me.Filter = strFilter
    Me.FilterOn = True
End If

If IsNull(Me.cboOwner) Then
    Me.cmdClear.Enabled = False
Else
    Me.cmdClear.Enabled = (Me.cboOwner <> "")
End If
End Sub

Edited to include syntax error text.

It's clearly the filter that is giving you the problems. Wherever you have TypeID specified as a filter criteria, specify the table as well, say as, tblStoreData.TypeID, instead of using TypeID alone.

So, the code for the Select Case Me.ogType should be:
Select Case Me.ogType
Case 1
    Me.tglNonTraditional.Enabled = False
    Me.ogReports = 1
Case 2
    Me.tglNonTraditional.Enabled = False
    Me.ogReports = 1
    If Not IsNull(strFilter) Then strFilter = strFilter & " And "
    strFilter = strFilter & "tblStoreData.TypeID = 1"
Case 3
    Me.tglNonTraditional.Enabled = True
    Me.ogReports = 4
    If Not IsNull(strFilter) Then strFilter = strFilter & " And "
    strFilter = strFilter & "tblStoreData.TypeID <> 1"
End Select

sorry, my Jet/Access days are a bit behind me now, but let me reassure you your join conditions in your original post are fine SQL, even if Access gets shirty about them ;-)

I guess that should fix it.

Thanks a lot for your suggestion Rui, that did the trick. I actually found another query when I was selecting different options on my form that I fixed the same way.

Your help and support is highly appreciated!
