Hello:

I have a 3 table join that I'd like to see data from the laslsmen table that doesnt have matching data from the other to tables... using the left join's it just shows the 1-to-1 results

I try using the *= in where clauses and get this: Query contains an outer-join request that is not permitted.

I simply need to see the salesman even if theres no activity in their 2-year history tables....

Also Id like to avoid using views or temporary tables, or sp's... just a straight query.

Thanks,
