You don't have any join criteria in this statement.

Set the SQL property at design time:

// queryString:=
SELECT e.* FROM employee e
JOIN project1 p1
ON p1.empNo = e.emp_no
WHERE p1.empNo= :empNo
and p1.projectno= :projectno

Then, on your buttonclick or whatever:

>with datamodule2.qryFBAll do

if not Prepared then Prepare;
if Active then Close;
Params['empNo'].AsInteger := StrToInt(form1.DBEdit3.EditText);
Params['projectno'].AsInteger :=
StrToInt(form1.cmbModule.text);
