What if you would use another aliases, say, pr1, pr2, pr3, etc.? Try this query in command window with parameters word changed to pr1, pr2, etc.

Also I would do join by join, e.g.

select * from tbl1 left join tbl2 on .. left join tbl3 on ...
etc.

So, my suggestion: try to code this SQL manually rather than in View Designer, which doesn't handle well multiple joins.
