Jacques1 Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 First off: Why do you have those two tables? Unless you've omitted fields, they're structurally identical and should be a single table. As to your question: The union of the two tables will use the column names of the first table. So it behaves as if everything was stored in TABLE1 and can be used as a subselect for a MAX() query.

benanamen Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 (edited) I have no idea what you're saying, but I am pretty sure everything you are doing is wrong. Anytime I have seen an OP/Noob using UNION their database is wrong. I am also confident this is an XY Problem. http://xyproblem.info/ The XY problem is asking about your attempted solution rather than your actual problem. This leads to enormous amounts of wasted time and energy, both on the part of people asking for help, and on the part of those providing help.

benanamen Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 (edited) Forget the problem you think you need to solve. What exactly do you have going on overall? Your DB column names and data give no indication what is going on there. You say you have two forms with "different views" whatever that is. No one is going to be able to help you based on the non information you have provided.
