The Access Query Wizard provides a good start to build a basic query, but for more control, turn to the Query Design environment. In this video, learn the different components of the design tool, how to add tables to a query, and how to select fields from those tables to include in the query recordset. Also, see how to hardcode sorting and visibility into the query’s design.
- [Instructor] The query designer view…is a very powerful tool to have at your disposal…and its layout makes it easy to find answers…to some very complex questions.…One way to begin exploring the query design environment…is to take a look at an existing query…to see how it was put together.…We'll use the CheckinDetails query…that we built using the wizard…to see exactly what the wizard did for us in the background…and then we'll delete it and reconstruct…that same query on our own, entirely in the designer.…Let's go ahead and open up this query…in datasheet view by double clicking on it…and take a look at the home tab, we have the view button.…The top portion of the button will change our view…between design view here and datasheet view,…which is what we were looking at.…
The bottom portion of the button shows us…that there's actually three different views for queries,…datasheet view, design view, and something called SQL view,…which shows us the syntax that's living behind the query.…Let's go ahead and switch into design view…
