Part I: Access Building Blocks
128
soon see, building queries in Microsoft Access is about much more than simply asking the database
to return data to you. You’ll learn how to control the sort order, combine data from multiple
tables, and include expressions and other techniques that extend the flexibility of your queries.
Later, Chapter 5 explains the confusing topic of combining query operators such as AND and OR to
achieve the desired results in a query. Access uses the same operators in a number of different
places (such as VBA code and form and report design), so a firm understanding of this important
topic extends well beyond query construction.
