Does a join form disregard the join criteria if it's an outer join and the secondary form doesn't have a matching primary form record? I know I can't use = in the criteria but on a join I have between two forms I use the qualification of ( $Status$ != "Scrap" ) AND ( 'Request ID' = $Request ID$) It's showing all the records though, scrap or not. I need it to be an outer join because the secondary form doesn't have an entry for each primary form record. Maybe I'm going about it wrong? Or am I running into another join inadequacy like I had with distinct records? heh -------------
