    <blockquote> <p>I would like to show the null record if there isn't a matching record with a date. </p> </blockquote> <p>If you want to include NULL values, then you probably need a LEFT OUTER JOIN (or just "LEFT JOIN"):</p> <pre><code>SELECT a.RacLetterId, a.AppealsLevelId, b.AppealLevelId, a.Level, a.DateSent, a.DeliveryService, b.AppealOutcomeId, b.AppealOutcomeDate FROM dbo.tbl_Tab_AppealsLevel a LEFT JOIN ( SELECT AppealLevelId, AppealOutcomeId,AppealOutcomeDate FROM dbo.tbl_Tab_AppealCode WHERE AppealLevel = 1 ) b ON (AppealLevelId = a.AppealsLevelId) WHERE Level = 1 </code></pre> <p>For more information about joins, I recommend Jeff Atwoord's <a href="http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2007/10/a-visual-explanation-of-sql-joins.html" rel="nofollow">CODING HORROR: A Visual Explanation of SQL Joins</a></p> <blockquote> <p>I would like to show the most recent AppealOutcomeDate.</p> </blockquote> <p>If the date is the only column with a changing value in your duplicates, then you can just use a simple <code>GROUP BY</code> on all of the other columns and select the <code>MAX(AppealOutcomeDate)</code></p> <pre><code>SELECT a.RacLetterId, a.AppealsLevelId, b.AppealLevelId, a.Level, a.DateSent, a.DeliveryService, b.AppealOutcomeId, MAX(b.AppealOutcomeDate) FROM dbo.tbl_Tab_AppealsLevel a LEFT JOIN ( SELECT AppealLevelId, AppealOutcomeId,AppealOutcomeDate FROM dbo.tbl_Tab_AppealCode WHERE AppealLevel = 1 ) b ON (AppealLevelId = a.AppealsLevelId) WHERE Level = 1 GROUP BY a.RacLetterId, a.AppealsLevelId, b.AppealLevelId, a.Level, a.DateSent, a.DeliveryService, b.AppealOutcomeId </code></pre> <p>If the other columns' value are changing (in relation to the changing date), and it's the join which is causing duplicate data, then you can add a subquery to your JOIN's ON clause:</p> <pre><code>SELECT a.RacLetterId, a.AppealsLevelId, b.AppealLevelId, a.Level, a.DateSent, a.DeliveryService, b.AppealOutcomeId, b.AppealOutcomeDate FROM dbo.tbl_Tab_AppealsLevel a LEFT JOIN ( SELECT AppealLevelId, AppealOutcomeId,AppealOutcomeDate FROM dbo.tbl_Tab_AppealCode WHERE AppealLevel = 1 ) b ON AppealLevelId = a.AppealsLevelId AND AppealOutcomeDate = ( SELECT MAX(AppealOutcomeDate) FROM dbo.tbl_Tab_AppealCode WHERE AppealLevel = 1 AND AppealLevelId = a.AppealsLevelId ) WHERE Level = 1 </code></pre>

    1. COYour second example is so close to what I need. The only other problem is that it shows duplicate records. I used the 'DISTINCT' keyword and that fixed the problem! This did it! Thanks JDB!

    2. CO@TravisGrannan - Like I said, the second example will only work if it's the join which is creating the duplicate data. Sounds like there is duplicate data in main table (before the join).

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
