Problem with my join query

I am setting up my Data Assist Details page and in my database "product" table I have field entitled "QualityID" this field is the reference for the product's quality types. The "quality" table has the following two fields that the product table is referencing: "QualityID" and a "QualityName" field.

On my details page it is showing the "QualityID"( i.e., "2") number, however I want show the actual "QualityName" (i.e., "Eclipse") that it references . How do I accomplish this? I tried the code below however it only shows me the name from the first QualityID ignoring the that is should be should the name from the second QualityID.

Here is the code I used. Am I missing something?

SELECT product.*, quality.QualityName
FROM product INNER JOIN quality ON product.QualityID = quality.QualityID

send a copy of the details page please.


The details page should already have a recordset on it that is filtering the correct details based on the URL Variable, add the join to that recordset instead of creating a new one.

Attached is the details page. Thanks for your help.

YEeah, so like i said, there is already the WADAproduct recordset on this page. and that recordset is already set to filter the product.ProductID on the URL variable that is passed in.

instead of creating a second recordset, just edit the existing one to add your join.

in the server behaviors panel, double click the WADAproduct recordset to edit it, In Advanced mode, change it from:

SELECT * FROM product WHERE ProductID = colname

to:
SELECT product.*, quality.QualityName FROM product INNER JOIN quality ON product.QualityID=quality.QualityID WHERE ProductID = colname


Notice that colname used in the WHERE is a variable defined as:
Name: colname
TYPE: Integer
Default Value: -1
Runtime value: $_GET['ProductID']

the $_GET['ProductID'] URL variable tells the details page which product to load

Jason - I have roughly 5 ID's that I have to join... how do I combine multiple Join correctly? Here's what i came up with based on your previous message. Of course it doesn't work.

SELECT product.*, quality.QualityName, country.CountryName, copyright.CopyrightName, materials.MaterialName, palettes.PaletteName
FROM product INNER JOIN quality ON product.QualityID=quality.QualityID
FROM product INNER JOIN county ON product.CountryID= country.CountryID
FROM product INNER JOIN copyright ON product.CopyrightID=copyright.CopyrightID
FROM product INNER JOIN materials ON product.MaterialID=materials.MaterialID
FROM product INNER JOIN quality ON product.PaletteID=palettes.PaletteID
WHERE ProductID = colname

the FROM keyword should only occur once. The INNER JOIN is a part of the FROM clause:

SELECT product.*, quality.QualityName, country.CountryName, copyright.CopyrightName, materials.MaterialName, palettes.PaletteName
FROM product
INNER JOIN quality ON product.QualityID=quality.QualityID
INNER JOIN county ON product.CountryID= country.CountryID
INNER JOIN copyright ON product.CopyrightID=copyright.CopyrightID
INNER JOIN materials ON product.MaterialID=materials.MaterialID
INNER JOIN palettes ON product.PaletteID=palettes.PaletteID
WHERE ProductID = colname

I'm getting a syntax error - this is what I put in.

This is what I put in:

SELECT product.*, quality.QualityName, country.CountryName, copyright.CopyrightName, palettes.PaletteName
FROM product
?INNER JOIN quality ON product.QualityID=quality.QualityID
?INNER JOIN country ON product.CountryID= country.CountryID
?INNER JOIN copyright ON product.CopyrightID=copyright.CopyrightID
?INNER JOIN palettes ON product.PaletteID=palettes.PaletteID
WHERE ProductID = colname

there should not be question marks in front of INNER JOIN

SELECT product.*, quality.QualityName, country.CountryName, copyright.CopyrightName, materials.MaterialName, palettes.PaletteName 
FROM product 
INNER JOIN quality ON product.QualityID=quality.QualityID 
INNER JOIN county ON product.CountryID= country.CountryID 
INNER JOIN copyright ON product.CopyrightID=copyright.CopyrightID
INNER JOIN materials ON product.MaterialID=materials.MaterialID
INNER JOIN palettes ON product.PaletteID=palettes.PaletteID
WHERE ProductID = colname

The Question marks just showed up in the copy and paste process here. I'm no longer getting the syntax error, however it's not pulling from the dbase any longer at all. I attached the page again.

Please advise.

Thanks

I'll need to troubleshoot directly, see the private message section.
