Default ODBC Syntax Problem

There is a comma missing:

reports.dbo.Controlling_without_stop_inv
Controlling_without_stop_inv"&chr(13)&""&chr(10)&" WHERE

should be

reports.dbo.Controlling_without_stop_inv,
Controlling_without_stop_inv"&chr(13)&""&chr(10)&" WHERE

This is extremetly messy. Consider:

reports.dbo.Controlling_without_stop_inv a,
Controlling_without_stop_inv b WHERE

Then replace all occurences of reports.dbo.Controlling_without_stop_inv. by
a. and that of Controlling_without_stop_inv b by b.: this will tidy up your
query.

Remove &chr(13) and &chr(10) as this does nothing in an SQL statement, only
helps the huma eye to read the statement. You are already using multi lines,
therefore the CR & LF are unnecessary.
