match query

[analysis_paralysis]

Hello,
I'm stumped and I need help.
I am trying to run a query that reverses the unmatch query which is not a problem. However, I need to find matches (is NOT null) on 5 different fields.
essentially, both tables that I am querying off of have addresses broken down into
Address Number
Address Street
Address City
Address State
Address Zip

I need to find get the records that all of these fields match in both tables.
help would be great! the sooner the better, my boss wants to know the list of potential customers that live with former customers and this is the best way I have found (using address of potential customer with those 5 fields and pushing it against existing customer base).

Thanks,
A_P

click
Queries
on the left of the Objects box
then click
Create query in Design view
then a box will show up asking you to select some tables
click
Close
then in the top menu. select
View
SQL view
then paste this

select 
  p.*,
  e.* 
from 
  [Potential Customers] as p
  inner join
  [Existing Customers] as e
on
  p.[Address Number] = e.[Address Number] 
  and
  p.[Address Street] = e.[Address Street]
  and
  p.[Address City] = e.[Address City]
  and
  p.[Address State] = e.[Address State]
  and 
  p.[Address Zip] = e.[Address Zip]

look where it says
from
I'm assuming your 2 tables are named
Potential Customers
and
Existing Customers
if they aren't then you'll have to change that
