Ah, JOINing on NULL.  Well done.

For future reference, SQLite doesn't have a CHAR type.  For clarity you might 
want to use TEXT instead.  SQLite does assume TEXT when you specify CHAR, but 
you might be depending on a specifically CHAR behaviour, like truncation to one 
character, and SQLite will ignore it.

Well done for solving your problem.  The magic of posting.

Simon.

Figured it out! I had set the column Deleted to "CHAR" but all the fields 
without 'X' were null. If I replaced null with a valid character it worked.
Thanks for your time.

I've tried and even with INNER JOIN:

WHERE t.Topic = 'Manuscript Copies' AND n.Deleted <> 'X'

There was an optimization bug that looked like your example in some previous 
version of SQLite.  Are you running an up-to-date version of SQLite ?

Are you doing this in your own code or in the SQLite CLI tool ?  If possible, 
please test in the CLI tool.

Please execute "PRAGMA schema.integrity_check" just in case your database is 
corrupt.

Try removing everything that doesn't cause the problem.  So remove the JOIN to 
the Source table.

Swap the order of the conditions around the "AND".

Swap the order of the JOIN clauses.

Some combination of the above should tell you more about the problem.

Simon.
