    The error message indicates the exact problem.
    What is the Data Type of your Primary key field ?

    Thanks

    I suppose "short text" refers to "Text" & "long text" refer to "memo" fields.
    Now check the data type of the Foreign key field in the other table.
    If that is also "short text", then go in the design view of the query & double click on the join link & see which fields have been linked ( whether the correct PK & FK have been linked ).

    Thanks
