    Multivalue Field Query


    I have a table Employees and a table Classes. Each employee has a multivalue field named RequiredClasses that uses the Classes table to populate the list. I have anothet table, CompletedClasses, that I want to compare to the Employee table to determine what required classes each employee has or has not completed. When I try to compare the ClassID to the RequiredClasses.value field, I get a type mismatch error. What am I missing?

    you really shouldn't use multivalue fields...
    instead use parent-child tables.

    The multi-value field has to be 'expanded'. Review https://support.office.com/en-us/art...E9BEBBEC31#bm7
