Perhaps this: Select po.orderno, pol.lineitem ; From po inner join pol on po.orderno == pol.orderno ; Where po.orderno not in ; (select pol.orderno from pol left join process ; On pol.lineitem == process.sequence ; Where isnull(process.orderno))
-----Original Message----- From: Francis I. Coppage, Jr. Sent: Friday, December 05, 2008 1:41 PM I know I've done this before, but right now I'm suffering from a Brain F... reeze or something. I have a PO file, a PO Lineitem file, and a Process file. PO Orderno PO Lineitem Orderno LineItem Process Orderno Sequence (same as LineItem) What I need to do is retrieve all PO's that do not have a corresponding Orderno AND Sequence in Process. It's quite obvious if I just wanted to eliminate PO's that have a Process.Orderno SELECT po.orderno, pol.lineitem, .... FROM po, pol WHERE po.orderno = pol.orderno AND po.orderno NOT IN (SELECT orderno FROM process) BUT There may be a Process for one or more of the POLineItems but not all. If all of the POLineItems do not have an associated Process I need to Retrieve the PO, POL information in order to create a new Process for missing lineitem process. Any takers??? Thanks for the look, Francis _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
