Hi,
When performing a large join, say on personaldetails against various other
tables where there is a one to many relationship, obviously the first table
will be repeated many times with the other's varying details.
I only want one occurence of the other tables to be shown (so every
personaldetails , but just any (random is ok) address/order/etc/).
Can this be done easily with sql?
Cheers,
Chris

In principle you want to create GroupBy queries for your 'many' tables and
join these to the main table.
It is possible to do this in one sql statement but you may a massive
amount of sql code to handle.
I would be inclined to build saved queries for the groups and then treat
these as source table for a final query.

Peter Russell

....to be shown...? Where? On the screen you might use a form/subform
whereas on paper you could use either a report/subreport or a single report
with grouping. Any reason why you specifically wanted a query to do this?

Shown on screen, as a query. I just need the details of one table and a
segment of their involvement in other tables.

Thanks for that, sounds do-able :o)

Then unless there is a sensible reason not to, I would use a form/subform
combination. Not only is it easier to do in this case, but is so much more
flexible because of the form's additional properties and methods. There's
not much you can do with a query.
