get records in a table which one field contains values in anther table's field

I am wondering if Access has the capability to do this:

I have two tables. In table one, let's say there is a field named "Address" - which contains the normal street address AND a city name; in another table (Table Two) I have a column / field called "city".

I want to get all records from Table One which Address column contains a city name that is in Table Two's city list.

Does anyone know if Access can do this?

Thank you very much.

In a query, join the two city fields.

  1. SELECT Table1.*
  2. FROM Table1, Table2
  3. WHERE Table1.Address LIKE '*' & [Table2.City] & '*'
