I wear a lot of hats...

"The solutions and answers provided on Experts Exchange have been extremely helpful to me over the last few years. I wear a lot of hats - Developer, Database Administrator, Help Desk, etc., so I know a lot of things but not a lot about one thing. Experts Exchange gives me answers from people who do know a lot about one thing, in a easy to use platform." -Todd S.

This is a full outer join then.
select isnull(tbl1.date, tbl2.date), isnull(tbl1.region, tbl2.region), tbl1."tool cnt", tbl2."misc cnt"
from tbl1 full join tbl2 on tbl1.date = tbl2.date

I think you're looking for a union and a subquery. This should do the trick...
SELECT
	[tbl1and2].[date],
	[tbl1and2].[Region],
	SUM([tbl1and2].[tool cnt]) AS [tool cnt],
	SUM([tbl1and2].[misc cnt]) AS [misc cnt]
FROM
(
	SELECT
		[tbl1].[date],
		[tbl1].[Region],
		[tbl1].[tool cnt],
		NULL AS [misc cnt]
	FROM
	[dbo].[tbl1]
	UNION ALL
	SELECT
	[tbl2].[date],
	[tbl2].[Region],
	NULL AS [tool cnt],
	[tbl2].[misc cnt]
	FROM
	[dbo].[tbl2]
	) AS [tbl1and2]
GROUP BY
	[tbl1and2].[date],
	[tbl1and2].[Region]
ORDER BY
	[tbl1and2].[date]

try this:

select D.Date, isnull(t1.region, t2.region) as region, t1.[tool cnt], t2.[misc cnt]
from (
   select date from tbl1
   UNION
   select date from tbl2
) AS D
left join tbl1 as t1
on t1.date = D.date
left join tbl2 as t2
on t2.Date = D.Date

I beg your pardon? What is wrong with the full join? Éric's answer works, but can get very cumbersome and might perform bad.
eluceroAuthor Commented:
sorry it's right the full join. I wanted to give all points, but I accidently hit the later 2 first, then I couldn't give it to you.  Is there a way I can go back and give you points?
eluceroAuthor Commented:
yes please reopen so I can give points thanks
