Of course way to much here to understand all of it but the SQL is referencing
a table [Payroll - Master Table - Current Year] and THAT table is NOT listed
in the table objects just a query that uses the Alias of it??? and groups the
data and sums it. I want to get to the Original table - Where would I find
it????
SELECT [Payroll - Master Table - Current Year].[Soc Sec#], [Payroll - Master
Table - Current Year].[MAN NAME], Sum([Payroll - Master Table - Current
Year].[Total Wage Payment]) AS [SumOfTotal Wage Payment], Sum([Payroll -

Correction: I missed a couple of ampersands:
SELECT E1.FirstName & " " & E1.Lastname AS Employee,
E2.FirstName & " " & E2.Lastname AS Supervisor
FROM Employees As E1 INNER JOIN Employees AS E2
ON E1.SupervisorID = E2.EmployeeID;

Barb:
The tables aren't hidden. An alias is a just a name given to a table in a
query, its not the name of an actual table. Switch to SQL view and you'll
see in the SQL statement something like:
…..FROM RealTableName AS AliasName
where RealTableName is the actual table name and AliasName is the name
whoever created the query gave it in the query. Aliases are often used when
you have two or more instances of the same table in a query, e.g. if a table
is joined to itself like this:
SELECT E1.FirstName & " " E1.Lastname AS Employee,
E2.FirstName & " " E2.Lastname AS Supervisor
FROM Employees As E1 INNER JOIN Employees AS E2
ON E1.SupervisorID = E2.EmployeeID;
Here the aliases E1 and E2 represent two instances of the Employees table so
that it can be joined to itself to show which employee is each employee's
supervisor, of those that have supervisors. To also include the top brass
who don't have supervisors you'd use a LEFT JOIN
Another way in which aliases are used is to correlate a subquery with an
outer query, e.g.
SELECT *
FROM ORDERS AS O1
WHERE OrderDate =
(SELECT MAX(OrderDate)
FROM Orders As O2
WHERE O2.CustomerID = O1.CustomerID);
to return the latest order for each customer.
Or some developers will use aliases simply to shorten an SQL statement by not
repeating the full table names each time, even when the use of aliases is not
actually necessary.

i am looking over a database that someone gave me. There are Many queries
that use a table that I do not see in the list of tables(can they be hidden)
