Need help with select query statement for fields in different tables

[nightangel73]

This is the query Stockmovements

SELECT "Acquisition" AS MovementType, LotNumber, Quantity
FROM StockAcquisitions

UNION
SELECT "Withdrawal" , LotNumber, Quantity*-1
FROM StockWithdrawals

UNION SELECT "Stocktake", LotNumber, Quantity
FROM StockTakes;


What I want is this same query but with the user name added. But the users are in the table Users

So if I just simply build a new query using this union query Stock Movements (that works well) and the Users table I get duplicate records.

SELECT Users.UserID, Users.Name, qryStockMovements.MovementType, qryStockMovements.LotNumber, qryStockMovements.Quantity



FROM qryStockMovements, ((Users INNER JOIN StockAcquisitions ON Users.UserID = StockAcquisitions.UserID) INNER JOIN StockTakes ON Users.UserID = StockTakes.UserID) INNER JOIN StockWithdrawals ON Users.UserID = StockWithdrawals.UserID;

Using "SELECT DISTINCT" will remove the duplicate from individual select.

You have to test and find out if that will give you the result that you are looking for.

This is my closest query so far, now if only you guys can help me with this join statement that I need. Everything I try it's a syntax error message of some sort.


SELECT "Acquisition" AS MovementType, LotNumber, Quantity, userID, userID.name
FROM StockAcquisitions

UNION
SELECT "Withdrawal" , LotNumber, Quantity*-1, UserID, userID.name
FROM StockWithdrawals

UNION SELECT "Stocktake", LotNumber, Quantity, UserID, userID.name
FROM StockTakes;

I got it!!! Here is the query I needed.

SELECT qryStockMovementsUnion.MovementType, qryStockMovementsUnion.LotNumber, qryStockMovementsUnion.Quantity, qryStockMovementsUnion.userID, Users.Name
FROM Users RIGHT JOIN qryStockMovementsUnion ON Users.UserID = qryStockMovementsUnion.userID;


I built another query in design view and created an outer join (#3) between the userID from the qryStockMovement and the UserID from the Users table. Then I dragged the fields I wanted and voila! Can't believe it was so simple.
