    Question Solved - Linked tables not pulling field data through correctly

    Hi all,

    I'm a bit of an Access noob but have managed to build a very simple database.

    I have a main table which I need to add 4 columns onto the end of, the data for which comes from 4 tables linked to it. Below is how they are linked.



    Main table------> Table 1
    Main table------> Table 2
    Main table------> Table 3
    Main table------> Table 4

    All 4 relationships have a join type of 2 (Include ALL records from 'Main table' and only those records from 'Table1/2/3/4' where the joined fields are equal)

    However, 3 of them pull back the correct data when I refresh the Main table, but the 4th one doesn't - which appears to be to be set up in the exact same way. It does bring back data, but it's the wrong data or in the wrong order.

    For example, if the related field in the Main table is "Sarah" - It needs to bring back "Programme", but some Sarah's pull through Programme, some are blank and some are another option altogether. Table 4 has no duplicates or typos etc and I've tried deleting it, loading it in again and creating a new relationship but nothing seems to be helping, please help

    From the looks of it, I don't think we can do much without at least seeing the SQL for your query or having a look at your project.

    Although you have described your problem, we need a bit more to have something to work with, from the sounds of it, it is likely a relationship issue, but cant tell what, why or how without seeing the SQL or the project as a whole. If you wish to upload your project please remember to strip out any confidential information first, compact and repair and then zip if it is still too large.

    Thanks for your reply, the SQL for the main table is as below. It is "RAGroup" that has the issue.

    SELECT [CERPS Data].*, MarketCountry.Country2, StatusHighStatus.HighStatus, RAGroup.Group2, BusinessType.BusinessType
    FROM ((([CERPS Data] LEFT JOIN MarketCountry ON [CERPS Data].[Current Site] = MarketCountry.[Current Site]) LEFT JOIN StatusHighStatus ON [CERPS Data].Status = StatusHighStatus.Status) LEFT JOIN RAGroup ON [CERPS Data].[Submitter Grp] = RAGroup.[Group+]) LEFT JOIN BusinessType ON [CERPS Data].[Sub Code+] = BusinessType.SubCode;

    I have had a look and it seems you have the field linked to a submitter group in the query whereas in your relationship diagram it should be related to group+ (its a little hard to see due to low res)
