3 field query/Filter that I'm a little stumped with, maybe easy

[jkurys]

I'm trying to build a sales report of sorts.

First I have a client table which contains Account numbers.

Now I have a second table with all of the sales info. This includes
shipper, consignee, payor, date, and revenue.

In second table the shipper, consignee, and payor, are all represented by an
Account number.

what i am trying to do... If the account number is the shipper, consignee,
or payor
in a record then I want to include their revenue.

I am sort of able to do this but I am basically setting up three queries and
piggy backing them against each other. any one know of a better method??

Use OR to get all the records:

SELECT * from YourTable where YourTable.Shipper = "123456" OR
YourTable.Consignee = 123546 OR YourTable.Payor = 123456

Okay that makes sense, now where i'm stuck is that is fine if there is only
one account, in your example "123456". In my case I have a another table
that contains a list of accounts I want to compare against.

An error in my SQL - the first parameter has quotes (for text only) the
other 2 do not (numeric data type)

 

[jkurys]

but what if your parameter is a list from another table??

 

[SusanV]

I'm not sure I follow - what are the tables and their relationships, and the
separate SQL you are using currently?

i think this is getting closer
