    Excluding items from a linked table?

    Hi,
    So I'm trying to build a query here, and I know you can link fields in different tables to limit the results... but how do I link a field so that it is NOT in the list of results?

    i.e. in TableA, there's a field "Requester name" with results a, b, c, d, ... x, y, z.
    Then there's TableB, with a field "Name", that has b, d, z.

    Can I link the two together, so that it excludes b, d and z, so my results will be a, c, e, f, g, ... w, x, y ?

    If it helps, the query is like this at the moment, which doesn't help me. The query has the two fields joined, but will show me the results which IS in table B.

    You need to change your join type and then filter for nulls in table B.

    I found out that there's a wizard function which does exactly what I was looking for... LOL
