LEFT JOIN not presenting all rows

1
My left table has 700 rows of member data. My right table has 200 rows of roles the members might perform. Both tables have the directory_id. I need to see 700 rows with directory_id, last_name, first_name from the left table and category_id from the right table if present.

No matter what SQL I try, I only get back the records where the table rows match, but I need to see all rows in the left table. In Access, this works great, but mySQL baffles me. Any help would be appreciated. Here's the code that doesn't work:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. SELECT directory.directory_id, roles.category_id, last_name, first_name FROM directory LEFT JOIN roles ON directory.directory_id = roles.directory_id WHERE directory.client_id=6 AND roles.client_id=6
