Everything You Need to Know About Query Basics Creating a basic query is easy because Microsoft has provided a user-friendly, drag-and drop interface. There are two ways to start a new query in Access 2007. The first way is to select the Create tab and then click to select the Query Wizard button in the Other group. The New Query dialog box appears. The Simple Query Wizard walks you through the steps for creating a basic query. The other wizards help you create three specific types of queries: Cross-tab, Find Duplicates, or Find Unmatched. The second method is to click to select the Create tab and then click to select the Query Design button in the Other group. The Show Table dialog box appears. This dialog box lets you select which tables and queries you want to include in the query.
Adding Tables to Your Query As mentioned previously, if you select Query Design rather than one of the wizards, the Show Table dialog box appears. In this dialog box, you can select the tables or queries that supply data to your query. Access doesn’t care whether you select tables or queries as the foundation for your queries. You can select them by double clicking on the name of the table or query you want to add or by clicking on the table or query and then clicking Add. You can select multiple tables or queries by using the Shift key to select a contiguous range of tables or queries, or the Ctrl key to select noncontinuous tables or queries. When you have selected the tables or queries you want, click Add and then click Close. This brings you to the Query Design window shown in Figure 4.3.
Adding Fields to Your Query You’re now ready to select the fields you want to include in the query. The query shown in Figure 4.3 is based on the tblClients table and the tblProjects table included in the CHAP4.ACCDB database on the sample code CD-ROM. Notice that the query window is divided into two sections. The top half of the window shows the tables or queries that underlie the query you’re designing; the bottom half shows any fields that will be included in the query output. You can add a field to the query design grid on the bottom half of the query window in several ways: . Double-click the name of the field you want to add. . Click and drag a single field from the table in the top half of the query window to the query design grid below. . Select multiple fields at the same time by using your Shift key (for a contiguous range of fields) or your Ctrl key (for a noncontiguous range). You can double-click the title bar of the field list to select all fields and then click and drag any one of the selected fields to the query design grid.
Create a database based on the Northwind 2007 template database that comes with Access (see Figure 4.4). If you want to prevent the Startup form from appearing, hold down your Shift key as you click the Create button and until the database opens. Click to select the Create tab. Select Query Design from the Other group. The Show Table dialog box appears. Add the Customers table to the query and close the Show Table dialog.
