Myself, I use Access as my QBE query builder. Just create a view using 
the QBE, then switch to SQL view, copy the text, then paste it into QA.
Frequently I name the views within Access, using an underscore as the 
leading character, so they drift to the bottom of the sort. That way I 
know what's junk and what isn't.
One more thing. Moving back and forth this way, you will discover that 
QA doesn't necessarily know that you've just created a new view or 
procedure. Select the apprpriate node and requery (F5) to get them back 
in synch.
