You'll have to use
outer joins between your tables. It'll look something
like:
FROM tblOne LEFT
OUTER JOIN tblTwo ON tblOne.ID = tblTwo.ID LEFT OUTER JOIN tblThree ON tblTwo.ID
= tblThree.ID
and so
on.
You're telling it to
take ALL records in tblOne, not just the rows with data in both tblOne and
tblTwo, and et cetera.
I'd suggest
building one join at a time and testing it before you add the next - these
things can get ugly.

Subject: Witango-Talk: Multiple Table Search Results
Hello,
I have created a web app that basically goes from step 1 to step 2 to step 3 etc... but you cannot go to step 2 without step 1 being completed..etc....
I would like to do a History report that allows me to see which steps are complete and which steps remain undone
I have 7 tables (each step) that I want to search based on the field ID that is the same in all tables.
I am doing a search on table 1 in field ID
then in the record list I have from table 1 fields ID, Type and Issue Date
now I want to display the details of all of the 7 tables...
so in the record detail I have put all of the fields from the 7 tables that I want to see and created the joins based on the field ID
My problem is this.....
If steps 1-7 have been completed the record detail shows.....
but if only steps 1-3 were completed than I get nothing in the detail.......and I would like to see that Steps 1-3 were completed while 4-7 remain empty.....
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated?
