Reports to include names with no contact

[rcollins]

I have a report that gives me contact info for each client. We run these reports every month, ie, 4/1/2008-4/30/2008. As it is now we get the lients who have had contact for the month. What I would like to do is to have the clients with no contact listed too, or to have a list on the side who have no contact. I have made an find unmatched query, and do get the people who have never had a contact, but I am not sure how to incorporate this to use the start and end dates from another table. Here are the feilds I will be using from both tables:

Table Name=[tblClient]
 Field;     Type;       IndexInfo
ID;        AutoNumber; PK
LastName;  String
FirstName; String
Active;    Boolean

Table Name=[tblClientContact]
 Field;     Type;       IndexInfo
ID;        AutoNumber; PK
ClientID;  Numeric;    FK
Date;      Date/Time

Please help to point me in the right direction. Thanks

Please post in the two sets of SQL. First the one that has the selection by month, and then the unmatched query.

I'll then have what I need to incorporate both items into the one SQL query.

PS. I'll also have a better approximation of what you do & don't understand ;)

Using the graphical query editor will make this easy.
Just pace both tables and drag and drop the ID field. (By default Access will already draw the line :-)
Now double click this line and chose option 2 (or 3) to make the clients table "
"leading".

That's all. You'll notice that the unmatched query does the same, but adds a Not Is Null criteria to "suppress" the ones that do have a value...
