My query keeps ignoring records - HELP!!!!!

I have two tables which share a common field called UNIQUERECORDID. The first table (ALLRECORDS) contains details about every UNIQUERECORDID (it auto generates new numbers etc as records are added to the database), while the second table (REMOVEDRECORDS) shows only those UNIQUERECORDIDs that have been discontinued, with two fields, UNIQUERECORDID and ACTION.

I am trying to run a query that returns all the data in the first table, and if a given UNIQUERECORDID has an ACTION in the second table to pull that in as well.

All that seems to happen at the moment is the query either ignores all records with an ACTION or refuses to run depending on the way I set the join properties up.

Any assistance with this would be gratefully received (and my boss would be grateful as well!)

Thanks

:rolleyes:

I've attempted to create a representation of your setup with the above. Query1 has the following SQL:

SELECT ALLRECORDS.UNIQUERECORDID, ALLRECORDS.Field1, ALLRECORDS.Field2, ALLRECORDS.Field3, REMOVEDRECORDS.Action
FROM ALLRECORDS LEFT JOIN REMOVEDRECORDS ON ALLRECORDS.UNIQUERECORDID = REMOVEDRECORDS.UNIQUERECORDID;

Is this what you are trying to get?
