What version of Filemaker? What do you mean by 'do not exist'? Do you mean
that the names are different? Or that the ID's are different (assuming they
are Name ID's, not record ID's)?

How large are the recordsets involved?

Do you need to do this once, or regularly?

Depending on the answers to the questions above, you could build
relationships between matching fields and then grab the non matches, or, for
smaller groups, use one of the list functions and poll for losers.

Subject: Find all in A that are not in B

I have two tables

Table A
id
Name

Table B
id
Name

I would like to pull all the records from table a that do not exist in 
table b

I tried adding a relationship between the id columns with the not equals 
sign, but that didn't work.

Any advice?


Thanks,
Adam
