Question : Table join in Microsoft Access 2003

Hi,
I am trying to join two fields from two linked SQL tables in an access 2003 query but i get an error message.

Please see attached file. i thought perhaps the field named need to be the same in each table?

Answer : Table join in Microsoft Access 2003

Hi,

  In access you cannot join on Memo fields - if the SQL Server field is large, ie more than 255 in size, then MS Access will create the local type as a Memo, which cannot be used in a join.

  If you can make your U_MAX_BC type in the SQL server the same as the buscat.Code field, you should be ok.
