Need help with Access Query syntax

[chelvan]

hi all!
i have the following query to run on ms access2000. once i run this query the data will be doubled. but i need it once. my problem is on where condition. there i have to check two different fields on table arjou (dtoacc, ctoacc) with glcode of the table glcode. any other ways?

SELECT   [DATE]
       , REFNO AS [REF NO]
       , orderno AS [ORDER NO]
       , fileno AS [FILE NO]
       , AMOUNT
       , glcode.description AS [NAME]
FROM     glcode
       , arjou
WHERE    glcode.glcode=arjou.ctoacc
   OR    glcode.glcode=arjou.dtoacc
ORDER BY date desc

thanks

Your where clause is not causing the duplication. There's duplication because your join has a many on one or both of the tables. You have to decide on an algorithm to keep just one record.

Try, in Query Properties Sheet, to set Unique Values to YES.

It's not clear exactly what you mean by 'once i run this query the data will be doubled'. However, I would start by changing your lines #7 through #11 to link the tables using an INNER JOIN :

FROM    [GLCode]
        INNER JOIN
        [Arjou]
  ON    (GLCode.GLCode IN(Arjou.Ctoacc, Arjou.Dtoacc))
