I have worked for hours on trying to find a solution and have not
figured it out. I am working in Access 2003. I need to create a query
that takes values from 1 table and displays them in multiple fields. I
don't have the option of changing the structure of the existing tables
because I am importing them from a separate data source on a regular
basis. I also need to use a query instead of a form because I then
need to be able to export the data easily. If anyone has any ideas it
would be greatly appreciated!
I have the following tables:
Table 1 - Sales
Products | Option A | Option B | Option C
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Item 1 | 200 | 400 | 300
Item 2 | 100 | 300 | 500
Item 3 | 200 | 300 | 100
Table 2 - Equip
ID | NAME
-------------------
100 | Door
200 | Bell
300 | Crank
400 | Speaker
500 | Tire
I would like to make a query to output the following:
Products | Option A | Option B | Option C
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Item 1 | Bell | Speaker | Crank
Item 2 | Door | Crank | Tire
Item 3 | Bell | Crank | Door
I have tried JOIN, but I cannot get it to work across multiple fields.
Thank you so much for any ideas!!
