    Limit on Sub-Queries?

    I'm developing a "Master Query" to run a summary report. It requires 33 sub queries. After adding 30 sub-queries to the "Master Query" I get a message that says "query is too complex" and it won't run. Does Access have a limit of 30 and if so how to get around this. Any help greatly appreciated.
