Jennifer --

Create a dummy table with 1 field -- a memo. Add a record.
Then, create a Cartesian with the table, in the query you want to add the memo. (A Cartesian join is a join between two tables without a WHERE clause or a join condition).

With tm as the memo table, and m1 as the memo field:

Select field1, field2, memo1 from table1
union
Select field1, space(1) as field2, tm.m1 as memo1 from table2, tm
