The query is incorrect in the GROUP BY clause. Let's try some ANSI 92
syntax instead of JET's syntax (Using an aggregate alias in an
expression):
SELECT T1.fieldA,
T1.fieldB,
T2.fieldC,
IIf(SUM(T2.fieldD)=0,0,T1.fieldB/SUM(T2.fieldD)) as ratio
FROM tbl1 As T1
LEFT JOIN
tbl2 As T2
ON T1.fieldc=T2.fieldc
WHERE T2.fieldE>100
GROUP BY T1.fieldA, T1.fieldB, T2.fieldC
If this fails 'cuz it wants T1.FieldB in the GROUP BY clause, in the
Query's Design column grid, try setting the ratio column's "Total" row
to "Expression."
