[AccessD] Wrong number of records returned in Union query

Jim,
I would think that taking out "DISTINCT" in the first query would work.
Another option - one that I use - is to create each query separately and insure the results of each query are what is needed.
Then use a simple union between them.
For example:  
If your first query was qryPlanCapex and your second was qryYTD_PlanCapex the your union query would be:

SELECT * 
>From qryPlanCapex
Union select *
>From qryYTD_PlanCapex

As long as each query has the same number of fields and are in the same order it should work.

Subject: [AccessD] Wrong number of records returned in Union query

I have a simple select  query that returns a different number of records
when it is run by itself than when it is run inside a union query. I believe
it is because duplicate records (which I need) are being dropped.  I have
tried the distinct and distinctrow key words in the union query to no avail.
Can someone tell me how to fix this? Thanks

The SQL for the union query is as follows ( the first query is the broken
one:

SELECT  DISTINCT qryPlanCapex_sub.fldCOMPY, qryPlanCapex_sub.fldDEPT,
qryPlanCapex_sub.Name, qryPlanCapex_sub.fldProjectNo,
qryPlanCapex_sub.fldDescr, qryPlanCapex_sub.fldYr, qryPlanCapex_sub.fldQtr,
qryPlanCapex_sub.fldAmt, qryPlanCapex_sub.Kind, qryPlanCapex_sub.fldRegion,
qryPlanCapex_sub.PlanPrNO, qryPlanCapex_sub.fldArea FROM qryPlanCapex_sub;
Union
SELECT qryYTD_Capex_ApprovedAmt_sub.fldCOMPY,
qryYTD_Capex_ApprovedAmt_sub.fldDEPT, qryYTD_Capex_ApprovedAmt_sub.Name,
qryYTD_Capex_ApprovedAmt_sub.CAR_Number,
qryYTD_Capex_ApprovedAmt_sub.Description, qryYTD_Capex_ApprovedAmt_sub.Yr,
qryYTD_Capex_ApprovedAmt_sub.Qtr, qryYTD_Capex_ApprovedAmt_sub.CAR_Amount,
qryYTD_Capex_ApprovedAmt_sub.Kind, qryYTD_Capex_ApprovedAmt_sub.fldRegion,
qryYTD_Capex_ApprovedAmt_sub.Internal_Asset_ID,
qryYTD_Capex_ApprovedAmt_sub.GLMBRANCHES.fldArea
FROM qryYTD_Capex_ApprovedAmt_sub;
UNION
SELECT qryYTD_Capex_sub.fldCOMPY, qryYTD_Capex_sub.fldDEPT,
qryYTD_Capex_sub.Name, qryYTD_Capex_sub.CAR_Number,
qryYTD_Capex_sub.Description, qryYTD_Capex_sub.Yr, qryYTD_Capex_sub.Qtr,
qryYTD_Capex_sub.Acquired_Value, qryYTD_Capex_sub.Kind,
qryYTD_Capex_sub.fldRegion,
qryYTD_Capex_sub.Internal_Asset_ID,qryYTD_Capex_sub.GLMBRANCHES.fldArea
FROM qryYTD_Capex_sub;
