[AccessD] Query error

Hello Stuart,

Your version worked for me and the client, even on the macine that was
giving the error message. I guess that machine doesn't like the join.

Thank you again for your help.

How about getting rid of the jexplicit join?

SELECT
tblEventTime.ID, tblEventTime.EventTime, qryTimeSpan.compTimeID,
qryTimeSpan.CompTime, qryTimeSpan.low, qryTimeSpan.high FROM tblEventTime,
qryTimeSpan WHERE tblEventTime.EventTime BETWEEN qryTimeSpan.low AND
qryTimeSpan.high;

or avoid the BETWEEN as well

SELECT
tblEventTime.ID, tblEventTime.EventTime, qryTimeSpan.compTimeID,
qryTimeSpan.CompTime, qryTimeSpan.low, qryTimeSpan.high FROM tblEventTime,
qryTimeSpan WHERE tblEventTime.EventTime >= qryTimeSpan.low AND
tblEventTime.EventTime  <=qryTimeSpan.high;
