Hi All,

My sales manager has requested a report, which in theory I can understand, but the practicalities of it are not working correctly.

I need to create a report that gives me a list of customers who havent bought a particular product code.

Is it possible to report on something where the other half of the data doesn't exist!!

Yes.
We need to know the involved tables (tablestructure and data types) and some sample data.

yep..its possible
using LEFT JOIN ,NOT EXISTS etc you can retrive data that doesnt exist on other table
but for suggesting query we need table details with some sample data
