Do you have a semi-colon after the first query? If so that can cause the error?

If the two crosstabs are identical in the columns they output (same order),
you might be able to use

SELECT *
FROM Crosstab1
UNION ALL
SELECT *
FROM Crosstab2

It always helps us diagnose problems if you post the SQL statement of the
query that isn't doing what you want.

Hi…I attempted to do a Union Query with two crosstabs. I received an error
“Characters found after end of SQL statement. I then read some posts but
couldn’t find the solution. It appears that it is possible and I read
something about not having two TRANSFORM statements but it wasn’t clear to
me. I have the same number of fields and defined the PIVOT part by IN(“x”,
“y”, “z”) and used UNION ALL. What else do I need to do to join the two
crosstabs?

Thanks for any suggestions.
