Hi,
I am trying to use the left join for a specific temporary mod on webwiz 8.0 but I failed use the LEFT JOIN. If I am using the INNER JOIN everything is OK, but I get no desired result.
the error I get is: Join expression not supported.
please help me with the query:
 
 
SELECT mainforum.forum_id, mainforum.sub_id, tblForum.Forum_ID, tblForum.Forum_name, tblForum.Sub_ID, tblForum.Password, tblForum.Forum_code, tblTopic.Topic_ID, tblTopic.Poll_ID, tblTopic.Moved_ID, tblTopic.Subject, tblTopic.Icon, tblTopic.Start_Thread_ID, tblTopic.Last_Thread_ID, tblTopic.No_of_replies, tblTopic.No_of_views, tblTopic.Locked, tblTopic.Priority, tblTopic.Hide, tblThread.Message_date, tblThread.Message, tblThread.Author_ID, tblAuthor.Username, LastThread.Message_date, LastThread.Author_ID, LastAuthor.Username
FROM tblCategory, tblTopic, tblThread, tblThread AS LastThread, tblAuthor, tblAuthor AS LastAuthor,
tblForum LEFT JOIN tblforum AS mainforum ON mainforum.Forum_id=tblforum.sub_id
WHERE tblCategory.Cat_ID=tblForum.Cat_ID AND tblCategory.Cat_ID=4 AND tblForum.Forum_ID=tblTopic.Forum_ID AND tblThread.Author_ID=tblAuthor.Author_ID AND LastThread.Author_ID=LastAuthor.Author_ID AND tblTopic.Start_Thread_ID=tblThread.Thread_ID AND tblTopic.Last_Thread_ID=LastThread.Thread_ID AND (tblTopic.Forum_ID IN (SELECT tblPermissions.Forum_ID FROM tblPermissions WHERE (tblPermissions.Group_ID = 1 OR tblPermissions.Author_ID = 1) AND tblPermissions.View_Forum=true))AND (tblTopic.Hide=false OR tblThread.Author_ID=1)
ORDER BY tblForum.Sub_ID, tblForum.Forum_ID, tblCategory.Cat_order, tblForum.Forum_Order, LastThread.Message_date;

What is the reason for using a LEFT JOIN and not a regular join?

One way I find useful to help with the syntax of Access database queries is to use the Query Wizard in Access to make the query, then view this in SQL view and just copy and paste across the SQL code produced by the Wizard.

It's ually not the best SQL code in the world, but it's a quick and simple solution.
