Every Wednesday, I run a series of queries which are exported into Excel sheets. Today, after being notified by the user that the reports were wrong...when I examined the queries, I noticed I lost my joins. There were 3 queries where I lost the join. What can cause this and how can it be prevented.
 
My first - and second - thought is: manual interaction.
I do not know of anything that causes the loss of joins in existing queries other than manually removing it or renaming one of the joined fields.

If someone renamed source tables, the joins will be lost.

All I ask is a chance to prove that money can't make me happy.
 
OK thanks. I think that is what happened.
