The following select statement works using BDE but when I run a ADO query I get a error message - trying to change old programs from using bde to ado. -Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression 'messtbl.book_id = books.book_id left join spkr ON spkr.spkr_id = messtbl.spkr_id'-
Select mess_id, sponsor, mess_title, dte, tape_num, video_loc, cas_loc, book, scriptue, spkr_id, l_name from messtbl left join books ON messtbl.book_id = books.book_id left join spkr ON spkr.spkr_id = messtbl.spkr_id where Sponsor like '%no one%' order by tape_num returns two rows using BDE which is correct. If I drop the second join the ado query works but I need the second join to get l_name field. Any suggestions been trying google for over a week now every example I see looks like what I am doing.
