OK. Here's a preview from the upcoming Effective SQL book that I and my team are writing.

Table Subquery:

SELECT BeefRecipes.RecipeTitle
FROM
(SELECT Recipes.RecipeID, Recipes.RecipeTitle
          FROM (Recipes INNER JOIN Recipe_Ingredients
          ON Recipes.RecipeID = Recipe_Ingredients.RecipeID)
          INNER JOIN Ingredients
          ON Ingredients.IngredientID =
                 Recipe_Ingredients.IngredientID
          WHERE Ingredients.IngredientName = 'Beef')
                 AS BeefRecipes
INNER JOIN
(SELECT Recipe_Ingredients.RecipeID
          FROM Recipe_Ingredients INNER JOIN Ingredients
          ON Ingredients.IngredientID =
                 Recipe_Ingredients.IngredientID
          WHERE Ingredients.IngredientName = 'Garlic')
                 AS GarlicRecipes
ON BeefRecipes.RecipeID = GarlicRecipes.RecipeID;

The above query uses two table subqueries in the FROM clause to find the recipes that have both Beef and Garlic.

Table Subquery with one column:

SELECT Products.ProductName
FROM Products
WHERE Products.ProductNumber NOT IN
(SELECT Order_Details.ProductNumber
FROM Orders INNER JOIN Order_Details
ON Orders.OrderNumber = Order_Details.OrderNumber
WHERE Orders.OrderDate
          BETWEEN '2015-12-01' AND '2015-12-31');
The above query finds the products that were not ordered in the last quarter of 2015. Note that in Access, you would use # as a delimiter on the date constants instead of a single quote.

Scalar subquery - returns exactly one value:

SELECT Products.ProductNumber, Products.ProductName,
(SELECT MAX(Orders.OrderDate)
FROM Orders INNER JOIN Order_Details
ON Orders.OrderNumber = Order_Details.OrderNumber
WHERE Order_Details.ProductNumber = Products.ProductNumber)
          AS LastOrder
FROM Products;

The above query lists all products and the date of the latest order for that product.
In each case, the (SELECT … ) is a subquery.

Thanks for your reply. I think an example might be the best way to see how a subquery works. Please help.

What are you trying to learn? A subquery is simply a subset of data using a SELECT statement enclosed in parentheses. You can have a table subquery (multiple columns and rows), a list subquery (one column returning a value from multiple rows), or a scalar subquery (one column returning exactly one value). Using a subquery isn't dependent on the version of Access unless you go back earlier than Version 2.
