when i debug the code it show me error
A field or property with the name 'ApproveID' was not found on the selected data source.

Hi, you didn't join the ApproveType Table in your query.

SQL
SELECT DocumentInfo.DocID,
   dbo.DocumentInfo.DocName,
   dbo.DocumentInfo.Uploadfile,
   dbo.DocType.DocType,
   dbo.Department.DepType ,
   dbo.ApproveType.ApproveType AS ApproveID
FROM dbo.DocumentInfo 
LEFT JOIN dbo.DocType ON dbo.DocumentInfo.DocTypeID=dbo.DocType.DocTypeID 
LEFT JOIN dbo.Department ON dbo.DocumentInfo.DepID=dbo.Department.DepID 


You must join it in order to see the ApproveType column.

Hope it helps! :)

Hi Ayesha, maybe you could use the DocumentInfo.DocID or the dbo.Department.DepID or any ID that you can link to your ApproveType Table.

Note: You need to link the ApproveType Table so that ApproveType column is visible in your query.
You didn't include(join) the table ApproveType in your query & you're trying to select a column from that table, so it raised that exception.
I think you can't execute that query, surely the DB'll raise the same error.
You have to change the query based on your requirement.
