There're at least 3 ways you can do that
* 1 - EXISTS subquery
SELECT * FROM mytable1 WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT 1 FROM mytable2 WHERE myfield1 = mytable1.myfield1)
* 2 - JOIN
SELECT mytable1.* FROM mytable1 JOIN mytable2 ON mytable2.myfield1 = mytable1.myfield1 ;
  WHERE mytable2.myfield1 IS NULL
* 3 - IN subquery
SELECT * FROM mytable1 WHERE myfield1 NOT IN (SELECT myfield1 FROM mytable2)
The second one most likely will be the fastest in VFP
