Question about Joins in Access

Hi, I'm new to Access development and I'm running into a situation
that I can't find the elegant solution to and I'm hoping someone out
there can help. Where I'm at is that I have two tables that I want to
perform a FULL JOIN on and I can't seem to find a way to do this.

My fallback is that I know I can perform an INNER JOIN on the tables
to get the first part of information and then perform a LEFT JOIN
(what Access calls an Unmatched Query) to get the remainder and then
perform a union query to merge those two data sets together.

However, I like to avoid jumping through hoops needlessly. Any help
is appreciated.

Thanks,

Frank

Jet SQL does not have a "FULL JOIN".

A combination of JOINs and a UNION/UNION ALL should do what you want, and
isn't really a lot of trouble.

What is a full join again? Isn't one UNION sufficient?
