-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Visual FoxPro for Windows, versions 5.0, 6.0 
- Microsoft Data Access Components version 2.5 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

Selecting "<None>" as the Join type for a Remote or a Local View produces
an error message when the view is run.

CAUSE
=====

The syntax of the SQL query built by the Remote or Local View Designer is not
correct when the "<None>" Join type is selected.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at
the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem and will post new
information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION
================

Steps to Reproduce Behavior
---------------------------

1. Using the 32-Bit ODBC Driver Manager, create a DataSource for a database on a
  Remote Server like the "pubs" database on Microsoft SQL Server.

2. Open a database and create a remote view using the DataSource specified
  above.

3. Add a table to the Remote View. For example OrdItems in the Microsoft SQL
  Server pubs database.

4. Add another related table to the view[ASCII 151]-for example, Sales. When the
  Join Condition dialog box comes up, click Cancel.

5. Click the Join tab of the Remote View Designer. Click the Type drop- down
  list box and Select "<None>."

6. Enter the names of the table fields on which the Join should be based. For
  example, set "Field Name" to "Authors.au_id" and "Value" to
  "Titleauthor_au_id."

7. Right-click the Remote View Designer and click the "Run Query" option.

8. When the "Without join conditions for each table" dialog box appears, click
  "Yes."

The following error message appears:

  Connectivity error:.....Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'ON'.
