How to add more that one tables or queries to report record source

  • Thread starter Thread starter TP88
  • Start date Start date
Create a new query in design view.

Add as many tables and/or queries as is appropriate.

Join them on their common fields.

Select fields from them to display in the output.

Save the query.

Run it to make sure it retrieves the data you want.

Create a report and point it to the new query as the data source.

You may be able to create a query that combines the data from multiple
tables, and use that as the RecordSource of your report.

If that isn't enough, use subreports. Each subreport has its own
RecordSource.
 
Thank you all. I still have one more question. If I don't use subreports, I
can't not add more than one tables or queries directly as report record
source. Is it true?
 
Yes. You can only have one query or one table as the source for any one report.

You can get fairly complex with a query and have many tables used in the query.
