I had forgotten about this one. In Microsoft Access, if you want to do more than one LEFT JOIN, you have to use parenthesis in the FROM clause. So, for example, instead of just plain old:
SELECT a.columna, b.columnb, c.columnc
FROM tablea AS a LEFT JOIN tableb AS b ON a.id = b.id LEFT JOIN tablec AS c ON a.id = c.id
you would have to do the following:
SELECT a.columna, b.columnb, c.columnc
FROM ((tablea AS a) LEFT JOIN tableb AS b ON a.id = b.id) LEFT JOIN tablec AS c ON a.id = c.id
Otherwise, you get a "Missing Operator" error. Stupid Access.

Incidentally, this should work with other sorts of joins as well.
