I'm in need of a little sql help.

How do i get a list of ids from one table that do not have the same ids in
another table?

I hope that makes sense.

not exact syntax, but gives you an idea...
select a.id, b.id from table1 a left join table2 b on a.id=b.id where b.id is null;

mysqlcreate table t1 (c1 integer);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (2.27 sec)

mysqlcreate table t2 (c1 integer);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (1.60 sec)

mysqlinsert into t1 values (1),(2),(3),(4) ,(5);
Query OK, 5 rows affected (0.24 sec)
Records: 5 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0

mysqlinsert into t2 values (1),(2),(4),(5) ;
Query OK, 4 rows affected (0.15 sec)
Records: 4 Duplicates: 0 Warnings: 0

mysqlselect t1.c1,t2.c1 from t1 left join t2 on t1.c1=t2.c1 where t2.c1 is null;
+------+------+
| c1 | c1 |
+------+------+
| 3 | NULL |
+------+------+
1 row in set (0.10 sec)

Access97 I have a table containing addresses with a separate field for State. Is there a way to create a query that returns an unique list of the states in that table and still be updateable? I tried setting the unique values property to Yes but that gave me a recordset that was not updateable. Thanks! Marie
