Query in which I am trying to match records from one table toanother, based on Two Fields

[Mike C]

I am somewhat new to access and would like to know how best to
approach the following query.

I have two tables.

The one table (Table A) has ID numbers and Social Security numbers
(i.e., both fields have been completed) for each record.

In the other table (Table B), each record may have one, or both of
those identifers (i.e., perhaps a social, perhaps an ID number, and
perhaps both).

Can you please let me know how you would recommend that I proceed to
produce a list showing all patients that

What you wrote so far reeks of bad database design.

Proper structuring to 3 normal form should be followed. Therefore you should
not have duplicate data in your database but rather linked by primary/foreign
key relationship. If you have duplicate data you will not be able to
retrieve accurate results.
