JOIN problem

I have a problem with generating report... problem with data combination...

if i select the first option i can generate --One report
if i select the second option i can generate --Second report (inner join)

Third option none of the report will work

How can i generate both report at same time:

Is there any method that we can go to code view and edit INNER join to some other join?

can you clarify the data/tables?

maybe you don't want a JOIN, but a UNION?
Can you make out do you want me to explain?
JOIN is to "match" records, based on the criteria.

UNION is to append the 2 results
say you have 2 tables, each 10 records. a union of the 2 tables will return 20 records:

SELECT * FROM TABLE1
UNION ALL
SELECT * FROM TABLE2

a JOIN needs a matching criteria, and can, based on the data, return with the same 10+10 records from 0 to 100 rows:
0 rows if there are no matching rows
100 rows if every row matches with all the rows (ie the result is a cross matrix of the 2 tables)

in normal cases, the join will return 10 rows if all the rows match once.

This is the query

so union is not what you need.

now, I don't get what you understand by:

if i select the first option i can generate --One report
  -> what do you mean exactly by  "one report" ?
  * note: the first option is the INNER JOIN, actually

if i select the second option i can generate --Second report (inner join)
  * note: the second option is the LEFT OUTER JOIN, actually

Third option none of the report will work
  -> can you clarify, please?

How can i generate both report at same time?
  -> also here, it's not clear...

sorry to ask you so many questions, but I don't get the "big picture", yet.

Np angell heard about u a lot ...


if i select the first option i can generate --One report
  -> what do you mean exactly by  "one report" ?
  * note: the first option is the INNER JOIN, actually

this report you suppose "report A"


if i select the second option i can generate --Second report (inner join)
  * note: the second option is the LEFT OUTER JOIN, actually


this report you suppose "report B"

Third option none of the report will work
  -> can you clarify, please?


this report you suppose "i cannot generate either report A or B "

How can i generate both report at same time?
 
I need to generate report A and B .. by selecting any of the option above or by editing the code
let me understand:
you have 1 query, and want to run 2 reports on it, "at the same time" meaning: with the same query, without modification?

then, you will have to duplicate the query, one with the LEFT JOIN (option 2), and one with the INNER JOIN (option 1)
ok

I need to generate same report with some criteria, this criteria is selected by down box and calling a query which interns call another query...

the another query is what i given here ...above in snapshot...


so if a select a value A in dropdown i can generate report A when i select the option 1 radio button which is a INNER JOIN

but if i select a value B in dropdown i can generate report B when i select the option 1 radio button which is a LEFT OUTER JOIN


I cannot creat both by selecting any of the radio buttons INNER JOIN or LEFT OUTER JOIN
Sorry typo:

but if i select a value B in dropdown i can generate report B when i select the option 2 radio button which is a LEFT OUTER JOIN
