I have Access 2002 and I can't seem to get a "Create View" SQL st.

[Guest]

I am trying to use the CREATE VIEW statement in SQL for Access 2002.
Here is what I am trying to RUN:

CREATE VIEW Spr02St AS SELECT stID, gTerm FROM Student, Grade WHERE
gTerm="Spring 2002" and gstid=stid GROUP BY stID, gTerm SELECT Count(*) AS
[Spr02 Student Total] FROM Spr02St;

When I press the RUN button I get this error message: "Syntax error in
Create Table statement"

Help!

I am trying to use the CREATE VIEW statement in SQL for Access 2002.

Access - using the JET engine and the default DAO object model - does
not support Views. The equivalent of a View in (default) Access is a
Query; a Select query looks, acts, and feels very much like a
SQL/Server View with the advantage that (in many cases) it's
updateable with no code.

Try creating a Query based on your table and see if it meets your
needs.

Access doesn't support CREATE VIEW unless you are working in an ADP. Also,
Access MDBs would not support two separate SQL statements in the same query.
