Syntax Error

[Cathleen]

I keep getting this error in my purchase order report and dont know what I am
missing. I know enough to be dangerous... I may have screwed this up beyond
help. Please see what you can do.
Thank you in advance!

Well, you definitely are missing a closing parentheses in the from clause.
I'm not quite sure where it goes but I'll guess

SELECT DISTINCTROW Employees.*, Products.*, Inventory Transactions.*,
Purchase Orders.*, Suppliers.*
, nz([Inventory Transactions].[UnitPrice])*nz([UnitsOrdered]) AS Subtotal
, [Shipping Methods].[ShippingMethod]

FROM
Suppliers INNER JOIN
( Products INNER JOIN
( [Shipping Methods] RIGHT JOIN
( [Inventory Transactions] INNER JOIN
( Employees RIGHT JOIN
[Purchase Orders] ON [Employees].[EmployeeID]=
[Purchase Orders].[EmployeeID])
ON [Inventory Transactions].[Inventory Number]=
[Purchase Orders].[Invoice Number] ) <<<---- Was Missing
ON [Shipping Methods].[ShippingMethodID]=
[Purchase Orders].[ShippingMethodID])
ON [Products].[ProductItemNumber]=
[Inventory Transactions].[ProductItemNumber])
ON [Suppliers].[SupplierID]=[Purchase Orders].[SupplierID]

WHERE [Purchase Orders].[Invoice Number]=[forms]![Purchase Orders]![Invoice
Number]

Thank you so much for replying so quickly.
It still does not work, a (SQL statement: Query builder) has now popped up
and when I save it and try and close it a message pops up that says the "Join
expression not supported". How can I fix that? What does that mean? Thank
you for your patience!

Basic question did you copy and paste the SQL from the post? If so, did you
remove the "<<<---- Was Missing" from the query?

I really can't help you further, other than to say try building the query
you need one step at a time. It could be that I got the parentheses in the
wrong place. Access drives me crazy with all the parentheses it uses.

At a minimum you know that the problem is in the FROM clause of the query.

I removed it and its telling me join error- what does Join error mean? Does
it mean a parenthesis? I appreciate you trying. Thank you
