I am trying to do an outer join of three tables, using MS Query. I
understand that this is possible, but that I must modify the SQL
code. The following SQL code was generated by MS Query to perform an
outer join of two tables, Table_Field1 and Table_Field2.

SELECT Table_Field1.ID, Table_Field1.Field1, Table_Field2.Field2
FROM {oj Table_Field1 Table_Field1 LEFT OUTER JOIN Table_Field2
Table_Field2 ON Table_Field1.ID = Table_Field2.ID}

How would I modify the above code to extend the outer join by also
joining a third table, Table_Field3, which contains a field named
Field3 to be included in the final query result file?

Many thanks for your advice!

The standard interface for queries through MS query does not handle
complexity too well. You can open the SQL window however and write the query
from scratch, which you seem to have a good handle on. Doing it that way you
can get your outer joins along with pass through and unions nested selects
and...
