    Need help deciphering append/join query in existing database


    I have received from a third party through a client a database with a series of queries joining tables with civil survey data to other tables with the same data in a different order with room for a few other fields to be filled out in office through a form. My problem is I can't seem to make sense of the existing query that is supposed to run this process. There is a macro that runs a delete query on the "BSD_" table followed by the join query between "SC_" table and "BSD_" table through an intermediate table and a master point table. I've attached a couple screenshots outlining some of the query in design view. The "SC_TEE" table is very straightforward PNEZD data with some attributes, the "BSD_TEE" table contains the same attributes plus or minus a few others (manufacturer, pressure test results, line/series/route numbering, etc.) but with no PNEZD data. I am under the impression this database is ready to use and the query is complete, unless I am missing some sort of data in the Point table that is preventing the join from going through. Essentially I need the relationships and append query process broken down to troubleshoot why the data in the "SC_TEE" table isn't appearing in the "BSD_TEE" table after running the query. I'm not getting any error messages either. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I have received from a third party....
    More information required. Did you talk to the 3rd party from whom you received the data?
    Why did you receive the data --some sort of contract?
    Is there any user/operator usage manual? Did you get any training on the database and related procedures?


    For anyone reading this and totally confused with the description.

    I found this via Google.

    Point Name; Northing; Easting; Elev.; Description (PNEZD) referring to GPS

    Good luck.

    The only thing received from the third party is the blank database. All the relevant data is populated by me using an addon to AutoCAD Civil3D. There is no user/owner usage manual (of course) and asking the creator of the database isn't an option at this time so I am consulting this forum to see if anyone can point out any obvious flaws and help me troubleshoot the append query's process. I have a decent amount of knowledge in databases when used in this context and I understand everything up to and after this point, I just can't get a result from running this query. And apologies for not clarifying PNEZD but you are correct, it is essentially the information that is attached to a GPS survey shot in the field.

Please reply to this thread with any new information or opinions.
