“Join expression not supported” for multiple Left Join in MS Access

Question

I have the following query which I am passing as a string in my ASP.NET project:

SELECT creditorName, amount, interestRate, interestType, interestCalculationMethod, insertedDate, o.fullName AS owner, u.fullName AS dataInsertedBy FROM ((tbl_savings s) LEFT JOIN tbl_users o ON (ownerID = o.userID)) LEFT JOIN tbl_users u ON (dataEnteredByID = u.userID);

for which I am getting the following error:

+       $exception  {"Join expression not supported."}  System.Data.OleDb.OleDbException

I am using MS Access 2016 as the database.

What's wrong?

I found the solution on MSDN. Here's the link:

I apologize for not putting in the correct answer along with the link that I posted. Here is the correct answer:

select savingsID, creditorName, amount, interestRate, interestType, interestCalculationMethod, insertedDate, ownerID, o.fullName as owner, u.fullName as dataEnteredBy from((tbl_savings as s) left join tbl_users as o on s.ownerID = o.userID) left join tbl_users as u on s.dataEnteredByID = u.userID
