I have tables as follows

Work
        zone            day
        1               Tue
        2               Thr
        3               Mon
        4               Thr
        5               Thr

ZoneZip
        zone            zip
        1               98006
        1               98007
        2               98027
        3               98030
        4               98040
        5               98756

Customer
        custNo          zip
        111             98027
        123             98040
        999             98006
        888             98006
        
Task
        custNo          startDate
        123             10/03/02
        111             10/03/02
        999             10/01/03


I need to get all the Tasks for a particular day along with the zone they 
will be worked in. That's no problem. But, in addition I need all zones that 
could be worked that day but don't have any tasks. That's hard.....
So if I look for Thr 10/03/02 my result should look like

ZoneZip.zone            Task.custNo             Task.startDate
2                       111                     10/03/02
4                       123                     10/03/02
5                       null                    null

I think I am close with the query below but I get to many rows where custNo 
and startDate are NULL.That is, I get a row for every memeber of the Work, 
ZoneZip, Customer inner join but I really only want those for my particular 
Work.day.

SELECT W.zone, T.CustNo, T.StartDate 
FROM Work W LEFT JOIN ZoneZip Z ON (W.zone=Z.zone) LEFT JOIN Customer C ON 
(C.Zip=Z.zip) LEFT OUTER JOIN Task T ON (C.CustNo=T.CustNo)
WHERE W.day = 'Thr'
AND (TO_DAYS(T.StartDate) = TO_DAYS('2002-10-03')
OR TO_DAYS(T.StartDate) IS NULL);

thanks
