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

Do you use foreign key field names that are  different from the primary key
name in the parent tables? What sort of naming convention do you use? I
always find it easier to understand a database  when I can track fields such
as fldFirstName throughout a table structure. However, I must confess I
don't religiously follow this naming convention myself.

That would explain it.  I do not use the table qualifier unless the field
name is the same in different tables which is generally not the case in my
systems.

John,

    If an SQL statement is put directly in SQL view of QBE,  without having
first dragged any field into the QBE grid, relevant fields get displayed in
the grid only if their names in  SELECT clause are qualified by the table
name.

    For example -
    (a) SELECT *  FROM  tbl1 - will not show any field in QBE grid.
    (b) SELECT  tbl1.*  FROM  tbl1 - will result in correct display in QBE
grid.

    Note - This is as per tests conducted on Access XP running on Win XP.

  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?
