## What it does
**SQL Query Description**

### Purpose
This SQL query retrieves distinct rows from two tables, `Process` and `AddnlProc`, joined with the `Metals` table. The query filters results based on specific conditions related to a part number.

### Tables and Joining
The query joins three tables:

1. **Process**: contains process-related data for parts.
2. **Metals**: contains metal-related data.
3. **AddnlProc**: contains additional process-related information.

The join condition is `Process.MetalType = Metals.PartNo`, which links a part's metal type to its corresponding metal record in the `Metals` table.

### Filtering
The query applies filters to narrow down the results:

1. **Part Number**: The query only considers rows where the `PartNumber` column matches a specified value stored in a cell of the Excel spreadsheet (`Forms![Main Menu]![Partnumber]`). This is done using an inner join.
2. **OPCode Prefix**: The query filters out rows where the first character of the `OPCode` column is either `"*"`, `"!"`
3. **OPCode Character**: The query also filters out rows where the first character of the `OPCode` column is either `$`

### Selected Columns
The query retrieves a wide range of columns from both tables, including:

* Process-related data (Part Name, Revision Level, Issue Number, etc.)
* Metal-related data (MetalName, Gauge, Density)
* Additional process information (ID, Generated, OPCode, Description, etc.)

### DISTINCTROW Clause
The `DISTINCTROW` clause ensures that each row returned by the query contains unique values for the selected columns.

### Query Notes

* The use of Excel cells (`Forms![Main Menu]![Partnumber]`) to filter data suggests that this query is part of a larger application or report generation process.
* The specific filtering conditions and column selection may indicate that this query is designed to analyze or generate reports for specific parts or processes.
