SYMPTOMSIn Microsoft Query, when you create a query that contains two tables that are joined with an outer join, followed by an inner join, and the outer join does not return any records from the second table, the resulting data set will be empty (that is, the Data pane will not contain any records) even if the inner join would normally return data. CAUSE
When an inner join follows an outer join, the inner join attempts to
retrieve records from the result set created by the outer join. If the
result set from the outer join contains no records from the second table,
then there are no records from the second table to compare in the inner
join.
STATUSThis behavior is by design in Microsoft Query. MORE INFORMATIONREFERENCES"Microsoft Query User's Guide," version 1.0, Chapter 6 Additional query words: 5.00
