I know that mysql does not support sub selects but I want to be able to do the following:
I have a table with all my leads in called leads. The table has a unique ref for each lead called refnumberid I have a table with leads in and products that leads have asked not to be mailed on the table has a field called leadid which stores the value of refnumberid above. I want to select records from the table leads provided they do not have a record in the table blacklist. I have used the following select statement which produces no results. The intro screen collects the value of adate and acountry sql2=" SELECT leads.* from leads,blacklist WHERE leads.date1stcontact <= '"&adate&"' and leads.country = '"&acountry&"' and leads.refnumberid <> blacklist.leadid and leads.productname <> blacklist.product OR leads.date1stcontact <= '"&adate&"' and leads.refnumberid <> blacklist.leadid and leads.productname <> blacklist.product and '"&acountry&"' = 'ALL'" set rs22=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset") rs22.open sql2,db,0,1 Can anyone help?
