Query shows no results when using 2 tables with multiple relations

[Aaron]

I am attempting to generate a query using two tables that have multiple
relationships. When I run the query, I know I should get some results, but
don't get any. I will try to explain this as well as I can.

Table 1: Supplier Information
Supplier_ID
Active_Supplier (Boolean)
Other Fields

Table 2: Item Information
Received_From (one to many relationship with Supplier_ID)
Date_Received
Other Fields

Query: The purpose of the query is to look at the Item Info table and group
all items by the Received_From number, determine the date I last received any
item from that supplier, and to limit the list to only those suppliers that
are marked as active in the Supplier Information Table

When I add Table 1 or Table 2 and add either the Supplier_ID or
Received_From Field and run the query, I get the expected listing of all the
ID numbers. As soon as I add the other table to the query (but even before I
add an actual field) when I run the query, I get no results.

One note, there are other fields in the tables that are related as well. I
am not using those fields in the query, but could that be screwing me up?

Thank you for any advice you can give.

Create the query that you want to use in the query grid, then change to SQL
View (View icon on toolbar). Copy all the text that is in that window, and
paste it into your reply ... let us see the query that you're trying to run.

Hi Ken,
I just figured it out. Never knew about the SQL view before. The
problem was in the other fields that where also in relationships. Once I
removed reference to them in the SQL view, everything worked fine. I can
post the final SQL code if it is good etiquette to do so if necessary. Thank
you for your reply though.

No need for you to post the SQL statement now that you've fixed the problem.
Good luck.
