Select from 3 tables does not work

[leifoet]

I want to select from these 3 tables :

table Members
table Activities (= matches, location, time etc. )
table CombCt (= who plays when where which matches => with reference fields to/from Members + Activities​

=> The following 2 test queries each from 2 tables combinations work:

SELECT CombCt.*, Activities.place, Activities.ref
FROM (Activities inner JOIN CombCt ON Activities.actdat=Combct.actDat)
ORDER BY Combct.actDat ASC

SELECT CombCt.*, Members.membernum, Members.name
FROM (Members left JOIN CombCt ON Members.membernum=CombCt.membernum)
WHERE Members.membernum>=1
ORDER BY Members.name, Combct.actDat ASC


=> But this query from the 3 tables does not work:

SELECT CombCt.*, Activities.place, Activities.ref, Members.membernum, Members.name
FROM Activities inner JOIN CombCt ON Activities.actdat=CombCt.actDat
left JOIN Members ON Members.membernum=CombCt.membernum)
WHERE Members.membernum>=1
ORDER BY Members.name, Combct.actDat ASC

Thanks for help tips

What do you mean by "does not work"?
Are these the primary keys:
Activities.actDat
Members.membernum
CombCt.?

does not work" =>
Database Results Error
Description: Syntax error in FROM clause.
Number: -2147217900 (0x80040E14)
Source: Microsoft JET Database Engine

The primary keys:
Activities.actDat
Members.membernum
CombCt =>
CombCt.actDat (inner join)
CombCt.membernum (left join)

Your SQL seems to be missing a "("

SELECT CombCt.*, Activities.place, Activities.ref, Members.membernum, Members.name 
FROM Activities inner JOIN CombCt ON Activities.actdat=CombCt.actDat 
left JOIN Members ON Members.membernum=CombCt.membernum[highlight #FCE94F])[/highlight] 
WHERE Members.membernum>=1 
ORDER BY Members.name, Combct.actDat ASC

I'm not sure where the ( should go so I would start over in the design view.

I have re-tested the location of the brackets => the query is working now

SELECT CombCt.*, Activities.place, Activities.ref, Members.membernum, Members.name
FROM Activities (inner JOIN CombCt ON Activities.actdat=CombCt.actDat)
left JOIN Members ON Members.membernum=CombCt.membernum
WHERE Members.membernum>=1
ORDER BY Members.name, Combct.actDat ASC

Thanks dhookom for your solving tip.

I copied the wrong test query.
This is working!
Sorry.

SELECT CombCt.*, Activities.place, Activities.ref, Members.membernum, Members.name
FROM (Activities inner JOIN CombCt ON Activities.actdat=CombCt.actDat)
left JOIN Members ON Members.membernum=CombCt.membernum
WHERE Members.membernum>=1
ORDER BY Members.name, Combct.actDat ASC
