Union Query

Here is my dilema if you will. I am working on a database for foreclosure
sales, in the process of appeding information from DBF files to tables, the
primary key (T_S_NO) in some instances is left blank, meaning it wont get
added to the database.

What i did was create two tables, one with the primary key (Master Database)
for T_S_NO and one without a primary key (T_S_NO Null) that only contains the
information that has null values. What i was trying to do is create a union
query that goes to both these fields and grabs the information relating to a
specfic sale date, so my SQL statement became this.

Select * From [Master Database] WHERE [Master Database].SALE_DATE=[Select
Date]
UNION ALL Select * From [T_S_NO Null] Where [T_S_NO Null].SALE_DATE=[Select
Date];


However, it asks for the sale date input twice. Is there a way to eliminate
this from happening, or does anyone have a better idea as to how to do this?

Thanks!

it asks for the sale date input twice.
You are showing SALE_DATE as a field in both table therefore it should not
prompt for that information. If [Select Date] is not a field then it would
prompt for that.

Maybe post some sample data from both tables.

Run a select query without criteria, highlight a bunch of rows, copy, and
paste in a post.

I do not see why it would ask for SALE_DATE twice.

Ok, where does [Select Date] come from? Is it a prompt? If that is what
is being asked for twice then you can use a form to input the date in a text
box and then reference the form text box in the query like this --

CVDate([Forms]![YourFormName]![selectDateTextBox])

SALE_DATE is the field or column in both tables I am trying to query and
combine with the union. So in my SQL statement I have it prompting for the
date the person wants to query, however it asks twice since it is the union
and I have to have search the same date for both. This is I guess what I am
trying to eliminate. If there is someway to have the date entered once and
carried over to the second half of the query, or if I am going about this
setup all wrong and there is a better solution.
