I need to add data from 2 tables, Country1 and Country2, the layout is exactly the same in both tables.

In Access you can use the UNION_ALL (or UNION for a non-dup)but UNION is not supported in a View.

The end result is using Crystal Reports to do the summation on a single table/view.

Is there anything similar to UNION in SQL View syntax?
 
Problem answered by another forum.

If you create the view for one table (or set of linked tables) and then save.
Go into the Properties of the view, add UNION ALL under the first script, note no hyphen required.
Now copy the first script into a text editor and change the table names as needed (replace option)then copy the revised script under the UNION ALL.

Check the syntax and OK.
The reason this works here and not in the view is to do with the inability to display the graphics (tables and joins).
