All fields are character.

Table1 fields:

aid
aagcy
adescriptn

Table2 fields:

bidv (same value as aid in table1)
bname
bvalue

I want to join the above two tables and do the following:

1. Create a single record for every distinct or unique aid record in table1 whether or not a match exists in table2.
2. Include the fields: table1.aid, table1.aagcy, table2.bvalue
3. If there is no matching record in table2, then I want to populate the bvalue field in the joined cursor with an empty string value ''.

I am stuck on a simple sql statement which amazes me. I just can't concentrate today :o( Maybe it was the only 2 hours of sleep I got last night? :o)
