Hello,

I have the following Input tables

Table1
Serial Item Date SerialandDate
123 Item1 01-04-2007 12339173
123 Item2 01-06-2010 12340330
234 Item1 01-10-2006 23438991
234 Item3 02-04-2010 23440270
234 Item2 01-01-2009 23439814


Table2
Serial Date SerialandDate
123 01-06-2010 12340330
234 02-04-2010 23440270


and i am looking at an Output as below

Serial Item BillDate
123 Item2 01-06-2010
234 Item3 02-04-2010



I am trying this SQL (MS Access 2003) however the query is taking too long to process and the system does not respond.

SELECT Table2.[Serial], Table2.[BillDate], Table1.Item
FROM Table1 INNER JOIN Table2 ON Table1.SerialandDate = Table2.SerialandDate;

There are about 25000 records in both the tables.
