Queries falling apart - not containing all my values

Hi Guys,
I have a query that I can't seem to use a join with, because I have to link more than one value at a time. :confused:

Sheet 1 contains:
- , B, C, D, E

Sheet 2 contains
A, B, C, D, ?

And I want sheet 3 to contain:
A, B, C, D, E

B needs to be the first value matched. If B = B, and THEN C = C and THEN D = D

Sheet 1 is just a reference array, its much much shorter than sheet 2.

A is a unique key that has to be populated at many times as the values B, C and D match.

How can this be done? I am just starting to learn Access, so any tips you have would be greatly appreciated.
 

Excel Facts

Select a hidden cell
Somehide hide payroll data in column G? Press F5. Type G1. Enter. Look in formula bar while you arrow down through G.
Try joining table1 to table2 on B, C and D (create 3 join lines).
Then add all 5 fields to the grid.

Does that do the job?

You can join more than 1 line at a time?!

God I'm so new at this!

I'm going to try now (although I'm scared because the SAME values appear in B, C and D all the time, overlapping - which is why I thought I had to do it in the cascading first a, then b, then c, style)
