Sub Select in MS Access 2002 not working

SELECT TblMediaExport.ord_confirm_date, ([SELECT Table_and_Query_Lookup.TblMediaExport FROM Table_and_Query_Lookup WHERE Active = True]) AS TblMediaExport
FROM TblMediaExport
WHERE ([TblMediaExport].[ord_id])>0;

That subselect has no field outputs unless tblMediaExport is a field name, which still leaves that it is not the field used in the main select...

There is bracketing in the subselect that I'm not sure belongs there also.

You cannot reference anything from a sub if it's not defined (ord_id, ord_confirm_date).

Why do you want to run a sub on this ? It's simple enough, - you only have the table/query Table_and_Query_Lookup as input ? To me it looks like:

SELECT ord_confirm_date
FROM Table_and_Query_Lookup
WHERE ((ord_id>0) AND  (Active = True));

and then there's that....

This is the logic of what I am trying to do,

1.)this query will return a table name;

SELECT Table_and_Query_Lookup.TblMediaExport FROM Table_and_Query_Lookup WHERE Active = True

2.)this query has the above query as a subselect within, I need to use that value returned by the subselect in the main select to reference a field within the subselects returned table name.

This is difficult to explain, further explanation may be necessary!
Thanks for your help though.

OK,

This is farfetched, but if you're hooked on SQL then try this (no guarantees;-):

SELECT DLookUp("ord_confirm_date",SubXX.tblXX,"[" & SubXX.TblXX & "].[ord_id])>0") AS ReturnValue
FROM (SELECT Table_and_Query_Lookup.TblMediaExport AS tblXX FROM Table_and_Query_Lookup WHERE Active = True) AS SubXX;
