Access SQL

Hi,

Whats wrong with this SQL statement?

SELECT * FROM Main_tbl, Contact_tbl, AdminComments_tbl Left Join
AdminComments_tbl ON Main_tbl.ID=AdminComments_tbl.Maintblid WHERE
(Main_tbl.CompanyID = Contact_tbl.AutoID)


I keep getting the following error:

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80040e14'

[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Syntax error in JOIN operation.


Thanks!

Just about everything!

You really need to think about what you are trying to achieve with your
SELECT and then form your query with consideration and thought. You have
errors just about everywhere in your current statement.

Hi Pat,

From your reply - maybe I need to be specific about the Select statment and
only list which variables I need?

Thanks
