I'm working on an application to query data on two-related, but not normalized tables in an Access database using DA0. The multi-field foreign key to the parent key exists, but the data-types and length do not match.

Parent table Primary key:
Part C(240)
Line C(240)

Child table foreign key:
Part-Number C(255)
Line N()-Double

The code I am using to join in VB

sSQLStatement = "SELECT Production.Line,Production.[Part-Number],T12Curr.Steel_Type FROM t12curr " + _
"LEFT JOIN Production ON TRIM(t12curr.part) = TRIM(Production.[Part-Number]" + _
"AND ON val(t12curr.line) = Production.Line) ORDER BY Production.[Part-Number],Production.Line"
Set qryGetData = odb.CreateQueryDef("", sSQLStatement)
Set recResults = qryGetData.OpenRecordset(dbOpenSnapshot)


I keep getting a syntax error on the "set qryGetData = ..." statement. I double checked the syntax on the LEFT JOIN in the on-line help and can not see anything that is coded wrong. Can anybody help shed some light on the nature of the error?

Thanks,
Dave
