Ops. Sent the email before I pasted in the final example. Here it is...
1 SELECT s.study_id, s.status, sp.status
2 FROM study s, site_placement sp
3 WHERE s.study_id = 5014
4 AND s.study_id = sp.study_id(+)
5 AND s.status = 'A'
6* AND sp.status = 'A'
SQL> /
no rows selected
No rows are returned. This is the original problem. Adding the outer join
to sp.status solves it. Thanks Ron.
Thanks to everyone for all the feedback!! Much appreciated!!!!

Hmm... I need to better explain this.
The query should....
...always return S records, if the s.status = 'A'.
...should return SP records if the sp.status = 'A'. A for active records.
...should NOT return SP records if the sp.status = 'D'. D for logically
deleted records.
-----------------------------------------
The developers took your approach, they deleted that line, and then had
Crystal Reports filter out the SP "D" records. They tested it and it works,
so there leaving it alone.
-----------------------------------------
What Ron suggested is working. I sent it to the developers and there
testing it out.
1 SELECT s.study_id, s.status, sp.status
2 FROM study s, site_placement sp
3 WHERE s.study_id = 5014
4 AND s.study_id = sp.study_id(+)
5 AND s.status = 'A'
6* AND sp.status(+) = 'A'
SQL> /
STUDY_ID S S
---------- - -
5014 A
The S record came out, but the SP record did not because it's status = 'D'.
SQL> SELECT s.study_id, s.status, sp.status
2 FROM study s, site_placement sp
3 WHERE s.study_id = 5008
4 AND s.study_id = sp.study_id(+)
5 AND s.status = 'A'
6 AND sp.status(+) = 'A'
7 /
STUDY_ID S S
---------- - -
5008 A A
5008 A A
5008 A A
For study 5008, there are active SP records, so the query is returning them.
Finally, to complete this example...
We are learning the hard way that logically deleted records are causing
havoc for our developers...and the DBA, who has a huge headache...

"I'm trying to get this SQL to return rows from the S table even if there
are
records in the SP table with status of 'D'(logically deleted)."
Then why are you specifically querying the sp.status for values of 'A'?
SELECT s.study_id, s.status, sp.status
FROM s, sp
WHERE s.study_id = 5014
AND s.study_id = sp.study_id(+)
AND s.status = 'A'
AND sp.status = 'A' <== Drop this and clause??

I'm stuck trying to figure out how to make this SQL work, and am starting to
wonder if it's even possible.
I'm trying to get this SQL to return rows from the S table even if there are
records in the SP table with status of 'D'(logically deleted).
What am I missing??!?!?!?
TIA!!!!
