Query Against Access DB over the Web
You can treat a pre-defined Select Query in Access as essentially equivalent
to a SQL Server View for this purpose. Just create a query with all of the
joins and save it, then construct your SQL statement in ASP using the query
name.
I think the 255 character limit (it sticks in my mind too) is only related
to the WHERE clause, not to the complete SQL statement. If there is a limit
on the overall size of the query, it's much larger than that.
