give the nested select an alias so you can reference it: SELECT * FROM Patient_Text INNER JOIN ( SELECT * FROM Patient INNER JOIN Opnamen ON Patient.PatNr = Opnamen.PatNr ) N ON N.PatNr = Patient_Text.PatNr
But if this is your actual query then I would suggest either joining all three tables or using a where clause with IN instead of a nested select.
