hey in the query builder of report builder 10 I got an error on:

FROM  tblFacility INNER JOIN tblStateProvince ON tblFacility.OIDStateProvince = tblStateProvince

what is java.swl.SQLException: [Macromedia][SequeLinkJDBC Driver][ODBC Socket][Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Join expression not supported.

Why?

    The Report Builder will automatically join tables only if you have  defined a relationship between them in your database.

    In Report Builder, you can easily create a join by dragging a field from one table onto the related field in the other table. It couldn't be simpler.

    You didn't provide the field from tblStateProvince to join on.

    What I didn't find was the auto join when I double clicked two tables in to the 'builder'! From the tutorial 'creating a simple report...in CF v.9' I worked through the instructions before I tried the app for 'real'! But through the query builder I got the query to work, though without seeing the 'equal' sign I ain't sure.
