Please help!

I am trying to create a database on microsoft access 2003. I am a complete novice. I know the basics. I want to create a query which will let me compare fields in 2 tables to find if duplicates occur in the same fields in the 2 tables

table 1 table 2
field 1 field 1
1 5
2 2
3 6
4 7

So i want a query to show me that "2" occurs in the same line in both tables.

Any suggestions would be great. Thanks

SQL Query:

SELECT * FROM table1, table2 WHERE table1.field1 = table2.field1 AND table1.field1 = 2

Access has a Find Duplicates Query Wizard - details a good bit down this page
