'And' expected

A comparison operator other than And has been used to combine two or more Equals operators in a Join or Group Join clause. Only the And operator is allowed to combine multiple Equals operators in a Join or Group Join clause.

Error ID: BC36620

To correct this error

• Restructure the Equals clauses to make comparisons by using only the And operator. The following is an example:

  Dim petOwnersJoin = From pers In people _
                      Join pet In pets _
                      On pet.Owner Equals pers And _
                         pet.Name = pers.PetName_
                      Select pers, pet
