Re: sql problem (hope it's not too easy!)

No, the requirement that's giving me headaches is that, for a given customer, I have to show one T2 record for each T1 'FEECODE' type, WHETHER OR NOT a T2 record actually exists for that customer for that code. So for instance, if I've got codes called 'A', 'B', and 'C', (in T1) and T2 contains, for cust 1, records with FEECDs 'A' and 'B' but no record for 'C', I want to see this:

cust	feecd		yesno
------	--------		-------
1	A		Y (or whatever)
1	B		N
1	C

I can't get that last line to show up.
