using data from two tables
hello kind folks who have vast knowledge...
I have a table of students who are employed by various companies. The table has a field where the employer's name is entered. AND I have a separate table of employer company details. I would like to be able to create a query that gives me the student names, their employer's name, and their employer's details. The employer's names are entered identically in the fields of both tables (ie spelling etc)... It seems like a simple problem but I just don't seem to be able to figure out how to do it.. any advice would be great. thank you |

using data from two tables
== Open a new query
== Add both tables to the query == DRAG from Employer name in the Employers table to the Employer name in the Students table to create a JOIN (it will appear as a line between the two table fields). == Select the fields you want to see in the result. (Double-click on the fields or drag the fields into the grid.) That is the basics.
