[AccessD] Painted into a corner

I think to 'sort' a Union Query, you put the Field to sort by in the last
union segment.  (Maybe it needs to be in all....)

Sorry, running on about 2 hours of sleep, and I'm already starting to feel
drained...(and it's only noon here).

This works...but...I get it in the following order, when I run the
query:

Findings				Count
ADC				79
CASES W/NO ERRORS FOUND	102
CASES W/NO ERRORS FOUND ADC	28
CASES W/NO ERRORS FOUND HR	27
CASES W/NO ERRORS FOUND MA	23
CASES W/NO ERRORS FOUND NPA FS	24
DENIED / WITHDRAWN		104
DENIED / WITHDRAWN ADC		24
DENIED / WITHDRAWN HR		27
DENIED / WITHDRAWN MA ONLY	26
DENIED / WITHDRAWN NPA FS	27
GRANT REDUCTION		102
GRANT REDUCTION ADC		27
GRANT REDUCTION HR		25
GRANT REDUCTION MA		24
GRANT REDUCTION NPA FS		26
HR				79
MA				47
MA ONLY				26
NPA FS				77


These are the correct numbers, but I cannot figure out anything that I
can order it by. I am going to try a few more things, but then, I just
have to pump it out to them. I have another program waiting, that has a
April 1st deadline, and I don't know if I could meet that mark, even if
I started on it today.

I really appreciate your help, and I learned a lot from this too!

Thanks!

No problem.  Just remember that the Unions can be the true SQL too.  So
the
various querries could actually be in the Union Query, instead of
making the
Union query's SQL point to them.  (Does that make sense?)

Go get some rest! <grin>

Actually, No, you did not make this complex...I think I actually
understand everything that you are saying. I am attempting to try this
now, but I think I am going to surrender for the evening. I am getting
some interesting results, but I am tired and need a break. When I say
interesting, I actually mean that they are promising. I'll pick it up
again at 7:30AM tomorrow!

So far, I am using: 

SELECT Findings, Count
FROM qryFindingsCntByPeriod
UNION SELECT txtResultSpec, Count
FROM qryCountsOne
UNION SELECT txtResult, Count
FROM qryCountsTwo;

Thank you very much for your help!

Good Night!

John, just use a Union query.  A union query in Access must be written
in
SQL, but it's pretty simple.

Let's say you had this table:

tblClients:
FirstName
LastName

and this table:

tblPersonnel:
FirstName
LastName

Now, let's say we had this data:

tblClients:
FirstName    LastName
Bob		Smith
George	Blue
Harry		Jones

tblPersonnel:
FirstName 	LastName
John		Jacobs
Greg		Myst
Anna		Grant

Okay, now you want a query to show both your clients and your
personnel
in
the same fields.

To show just the clients, this SQL would work:

Select FirstName, LastName
