Type mismatch

[Bob]

Trying to make aquery drawing on two tables. The tables
are linked to external dat (.xls). When I try to view the
query in table view or try to export the data, I get the
error message "type mismatch in expression". There are no
expressions in the query, only field names. There are no
type mismatches in any of the fields. Tried eliminating
all fields but one, still get the message! Is this a bug?
wasn't doing it before. If Access is going to give an
error message, it ought to at least tell you where it is-
if there is an error. Would appreciate any advice. This
problem makes Access impossible for me to use.

When you get a type mismatch on joined tables, it is usually a
mismatch on the join columns. E.g.:

SELECT t1.* FROM t1 INNER JOIN t2 ON t1.c1 = t2.c1

If t1.c1 is not the same data type as t2.c1 the Mismatch error will
occur.

Thanks for your answer! That was indeed the case. I'll
watch it next time.
