How do I include left over records from the source tables in an Access database after a query "merge"?

Asked by meinemitternacht in Microsoft Access Database

Tags: access 2007, queries, merge tables

I have two tables in Access that I am trying to merge.  I have a query that selects records from both tables when a related field is equal and places the results in a new table.  But, I also want to include the records that don't match in that new table as well.  If records from Table A match records in Table B, join the results, but if they don't, still include them in the resulting table.

Is there an easier way to do this than going through Tables A and B by hand?
