Find Unmatched Query HELP
Debra Triolo 
     
3 years ago
Hello.  I am trying to run a list of potential clients against a list of existing clients (like a disruption report), so my first thought was to pull the data into access and run an unmatched query.  I used the wizard BUT every single time I run the query the output contains clients that ARE in the network instead of those who are not.  My first thought was maybe there are white spaces, so I went and trimmed the data on the field that I am matching on- in both files - and reran it, but again - the output is the same and does not contain unmatched items.  IF I try and create a small example file - like a list of animals and compare it to another example list of animals, the query results are as expected - spitting out only those in list one that do not appear in list two.  What am I doing wrong that I cannot get the correct results using my client files.  Please help.

Ok. I have NO idea what I did wrong yesterday.  I kept trying to run the query and kept getting the same erroneous results all day.  Then I just deleted everything and started over fresh.  Did not do anything differently, but this time the list came up with 100 records from table 1 that did not appear in table 2. I have no idea why it works now and did not before.  The only thing that *may* have occurred earlier was I had some tables open when I built the query- but I am unsure if that could have caused the odd results. Regardless, I *think* these results are correct. I just hope it found all the unmatched clients....there are over 50K in the list, so checking by hand is not a preferable option....
