You need a LEFT JOIN:

SELECT Sal_Mas.Emp_No, Sal_Mas.Emp_SurName, transfile.tran_empno, transfile.SalaryAdv, Sal_Mas.Emp_Basicsal,
Sal_Mas.Allow1, Sal_Mas.Allow2, Sal_Mas.Allow3, Sal_Mas.Allow4, Sal_Mas.Allow5, Sal_Mas.Allow6, Sal_Mas.Allow7,
Sal_Mas.Allow8, Sal_Mas.InterimAllow, transfile.Festadv, transfile.Lunch, transfile.StaffPfContr, transfile.Loan,
transfile.CollegePFLoan, transfile.Paye, transfile.SundryDed

FROM Sal_Mas
LEFT OUTER JOIN transfile
ON Sal_Mas.Emp_No = transfile.tran_empno

Hi the answer is so simple you have done every thing right but if you go once agin from your query you will find that in the select statement (before the where clause) you didnot mention the "transfile.tran_empno" field.

The right query shoul be like

SELECT Sal_Mas.Emp_No, Sal_Mas.Emp_SurName, transfile.tran_empno, transfile.SalaryAdv, Sal_Mas.Emp_Basicsal,
Sal_Mas.Allow1, Sal_Mas.Allow2, Sal_Mas.Allow3, Sal_Mas.Allow4, Sal_Mas.Allow5, Sal_Mas.Allow6, Sal_Mas.Allow7,
Sal_Mas.Allow8, Sal_Mas.InterimAllow,transfile.tran_empno, transfile.Festadv, transfile.Lunch, transfile.StaffPfContr, transfile.Loan,
transfile.CollegePFLoan, transfile.Paye, transfile.SundryDed,

FROM Sal_Mas, transfile WHERE
Sal_Mas.Emp_No = transfile.tran_empno

i know now the program will definately work.

Bye

actually, the transfile.tran_empno field WAS already in the query.

Not that it matters if it wasn't, because it's perfectly possible to put a field in the WHERE clause which you have not selected.

But on the topic: Emoreau is right. With a left join you get all records in the first table, linked to their corresponding fields in the other table or a NULL-record where there are no corresponding records.

Hope it helped, :)
