Hi,
I'm absolutly stumped (and more than just a little frustrated) . I have 2 tables that are linked together with a one-to-many relationship. When I open query-builder, I can't see all the fields in the first table (including the linked one!), and when I bring in the second one they don't link automatically like they should!

If I open a query that already had the relationship in it (built before I encountered this problem), I get this error message:


Microsoft Access can't represent the join expression tblPlatform.ID = tblVETProjects.VET2Platform in Design View

* One or more of the fields may have been deleted or renamed
* The name of one or more fileds may be misspelled
* The join may use an operator that is not supported in design view



The linking Field isn't even on the field list for the table!!! I have this same setup in my Test dB and it works fine. I have a replica of this dB on another server, no problem. One of my coworkers doesn't have this problem with the same dB! If I go into the SQL design directly, it works fine, but on the way to the query builder it gives me that error message. I'm lost. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
