Why didn't you use a Join form, you'll be using less space.

Date: Tue, 18 Aug 2009 09:34:54 -0400 From: mark.sei...@gmail.com Subject: Query against two forms To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG ** Hi Listers, I'm looking for some guidance on doing the following: I have 2 regular forms called ALLrecs and PROCESSEDrecs, each having fields like F1, F2 and F3 I'm looking to populate a third form to contain the results of a query such that the user can select from a list of AVAILABLE records (everything in ALLrecs less all the records in PROCESSEDrecs). A working SQL statement to do this is: SELECT F1, F2, F3 FROM ALLrecs WHERE (F1 NOT IN (SELECT F1, F2, F3 FROM PROCESSEDrecs)) Making this new AVAILABLE form a join form (inner or outer) doesn't seem to be giving me the results I want. Perhaps a Direct SQL or table walk on ALLrecs? arrgh. This AVAILABLE data has to be updated or recreated each time the user performs this activity. Ultimately the users selections from AVAILABLE will be further processed, then will update the PROCESSEDrecs form etc etc (I've got that part). Thanks for any thoughts. -Mark Win Server 2003/MS SQL 2000 ARS 7.1 patch 6 ITSM 7.0.03 patch 006 _Platinum Sponsor: rmisoluti...@verizon.net ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are"_ _________________________________________________________________ Messenger cumple 10 años y tiene regalos para ti www.aniversariomessenger.com.mx _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org Platinum Sponsor:rmisoluti...@verizon.net ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are"
