Hi Pat,
Put your WHERE clause with the JOIN's ON condition.
IOW, you want all the SCSAQty stuff, but only the SCASld stuff when it matches and when the period is right. Is that it?

>>Start simple. What does the following do?
>>select scsaqty.saq_sku, sum(scsasld.sal_soldqty) TotSold ;
> from scsaqty ;
> left outer join scsasld ;
> on scsaqty.saq_sku == scsasld.sal_sku ;
> where between(scsasld.sal_solddate, ?dBgnDate, ?dEndDate) ;
> group by scsaqty.saq_sku
>
>This code will only give me sku's that that have been sold in the date range. The scsasld table will have an entry evertime a sku is sold. If a sku was never sold it would't have any entries in the scsasld file.
