with a join, you'll get the records that "match" something in the two
tables.  With a union, the first table is output and the second table is
output right behind it so it appears to be One continuous table.  The
records don't match the fields from one table to the other. 

Hope this is making sense.

Subject: Join vs Union Perference


Which is a better perference, using a Join or Union?

I need to link together several tables so I can build an excel spreadsheet

Thanks for the direction.
