Word wrap has made a total hash of your desired output. Please repost it with
semicolons rather than tabs or blanks delmiiting the fieldnames and values -
as it is I can't make any sense of it.

That is the job of a full outer join, not directly supported by Jet. One
indirect way to solve it is :

Make a query which will return all the desired 'key' (once, no dup) , here,
something like:


SELECT consignee FROM table1
UNION
SELECT consignee FROM table2


Call this query q1.


Next, in a second query, bring q1, and table1. Link them with an outer join
(all rows from q1, matching ones from tabel1) over the common field
consignee.
Bring table2 to the query, also link q1 and table2 with an outer join (all
rows again from q1, matching ones from table2) again over their common
field, consignee.

In the grid, bring the required fields (consignee from q1, other fields from
table1 or table2, as you want them).

Whenever the consignee fields are common in both tables, and if i get
all the fields from both tables into the grid in the final query, i
get dcity, dstate, dzips repeated for that particular field(where
consignee fields are common). how to give dcity, dstate, dzip not
repeated in one row. pls help thanks
