Making a Query compare entries in seperate tables

[Scott Crews]

I need to make a query that will look at two tables (one
field in each of the two tables) and pull up all the
entries that are in the first table, but not the second
one. Here are more details:

The first table is called "Sponsor", and the field
is "Sponsor Number"

The second table is called "Child Sponsor Matchup" and the
field is called "Sponsor Number" also. Both are Numeric
Fields.

I need the query to display all the entries from "Sponsor"
who do not appear in "Child Sponsor Matchup", based on
comparing the sponsor numbers. Any ideas?

Thanks

Scott

SELECT * FROM Sponsor WHERE [Sponsor Number] NOT IN (SELECT
DISTINCT [Sponsor Number] FROM [Child Sponsor MatchUp])

Hope This Helps

Classic LEFT JOIN situation:

SELECT S.[Sponsor Number]
FROM Sponsor As S LEFT JOIN [Child Sponsor Matchup] As C
ON S.[Sponsor Number] = C.[Sponsor Number]
WHERE C.[Sponsor Number] Is Null
