Sergey --

I don't want a JOIN ... without a JOIN, I get all combinations of ProcessID from one table with UserNumber from the other table.

The AccessFile referenced in the first Select statement is supposed to contain all possible combination of processid (which comes from AppFile) and UserNumber (which comes from UserFile). I'm trying to get a list of all missing combinations.

The interesting thing is, these statements work just fine in development, but fail when a build an EXE. Why would that be?
