outer join on linked tables does not work properly

Guest

I'm having an issue where performing an outer join between two linked ODBC
tables performs exactly the same as an inner join. I read a MS KB article
that explained that the where clause was evaluated at different times for
ODBC queries than for normal access queries. There was a link to the JET
engine update for version 3.51. However, I have Access 2003 SP2 and my JET
version is 4.00+.

Is this a known problem? Is their a fix? Or do I just have do something
like this (untested, but I think I did something like this in a college class
once and had it work):

SELECT *
FROM a,b
WHERE a.col1 = b.col1 or b.col1 IS NULL

Please disregard this message. After re-examining my query, I realized that
my where statement was behaving correctly and my query needs re-writing.
