[AccessD] Query SQL correct but not visible in design view

I am building a SQL statement "on the fly" which essentially compares
matching fields in two different tables - Tbl1.Lname <> Tbl2.Lname.  The SQL
runs but only the tables and their joins are visible in the QBE grid.  There
are no fields visible etc.  Does anyone understand what causes Access to do
this?  I have had the same thing occur even with something as simple as a
SELECT * from tbl1 inserted into the SQL view.  Tbl1 is displayed, but
nothing in the grid.  The query executes correctly.

Anyone?
