Calculating with Queries

Who Bought What?

The Front Row Video database sample has a customer receipt query that can answer many business questions.

 

Before you begin:

Make a copy of the query

The following demonstrations are based on a sample query: rptCustomerReceiptSQ.

Right click the query and make a COPY.

Name it: SalesSQ.

 

Try it: Edit the Query

Open SalesSQ in Design View

Delete the customer table: tblCustomer.

Did all of the customer name and address fields disappear from the grid, too?

 

Delete the concatenated fields, too. Look, there are two combined fields, one for FullName and other for CityStateZip. These concatenated fields still refer to the Customer table. Delete these two fields.
