SQL Query Syntax

ISNULL() is your friend.

I changed to this

isnull(t.TenderTotal,0) as 'HowPayAppTotal'


But still not working, the whole row is being omitted.

Where's your SQL? I only see a VB/VBA string.

1. Use ANSI JOINs.
2. Don't concatenate SQL strings like this, without input validation. It's prone to SQL injection.
3. Don't concatenate SQL strings like this, date literals are problematic. Use an explict format.
4. When possible use parameterized queries or commands. This solves 2. and 3.
5. t.TenderTotal is a column, it could not be a row in it.

That could be because any of the other criteria fail.  It's difficult to say.

It's not other criteria....If I remove the record from howpaidapproved, then the whole row is omitted. If I put it back, then I get it all back.

5. t.TenderTotal is a column, it could not be a row in it.

Exactly, If I dont have a value for TenderTotal, then NOTHING is displayed for that Transact row. Almost as if the transact is not there, but it is.

When possible use parameterized queries or commands. This solves 2. and 3.

Can you explain this or provide an example? I am new to this. Thanks!

Assuming you haven't changed the SQL query from your previous question (I haven't read the VB string close enough to verify), this should work:

select t.Transact, t.NetTotal, t.FinalTotal, isnull(sum(d.Quan*d.CostEach),0) DetailTotal, t.TenderTotal
from dba.posDetail d,
    (select h.Transact, h.NetTotal, h.FinalTotal, isnull(sum(p.Tender),0) TenderTotal
     from dba.posHeader h, dba.howpayapproved p
     where h.Transact *= p.Transact group by h.Transact, h.NetTotal, h.FinalTotal) t
where t.Transact *= d.Transact
and d.prodtype not in (101)
group by t.Transact, t.NetTotal, t.FinalTotal, t.TenderTotal

Select allOpen in new window

Again, it's a matter of adding isnull and making it an outer join.

In general, it is much easier to provide SQL help if you provide the SQL query (rather than a VB concatenated string).

ste5an has some good points but, if they are necessary, depends on how/where this will be used.

I removed the VB, see below.....I added the null like suggested, but still not returning the whole row.

select t.opendate as 'OpenDate', t.Transact as 'Transaction', t.NetTotal as 'HeaderNet', isnull(sum(d.Quan*d.CostEach), 0) as 'DetailNet', t.FinalTotal as 'HeaderFinal',  isnull(t.TenderTotal,0) as 'HowPayAppTotal'
from dba.posDetail d,
(select h.opendate, h.Transact, h.NetTotal, h.FinalTotal, isnull(sum(p.Tender),0) as 'TenderTotal'
from dba.posHeader h, dba.howpayapproved p
where h.Transact = p.Transact group by h.opendate, h.Transact, h.NetTotal, h.FinalTotal) t
where t.Transact *= d.Transact
and d.prodtype not in (101)
group by t.opendate, t.Transact, t.NetTotal, t.FinalTotal, t.TenderTotal
order by t.transact

Select allOpen in new window

Thanks!
