I want to return all jobIDs (whether read or unread) but in case a jobID has both read and unread notes i just want to return the unread part? So in the case of below:

jobID 167 unRead
jobID 168 unRead
jobID 168 Read
jobID 169 Read

the output would be would be

jobID 167 unRead
jobID 168 unRead
jobID 169 Read

I'm sure its not too difficult but i've tried a lot.. to no avail

see below (and I thinks its long winded for what i need)

CREATE PROCEDURE spGetJobsByUnreadAndReadByUserID
@UserID INT
AS

SELECT DISTINCT Master_Jobs.JobID, Profiles.ProfileDescriptor, Backup_UserNotes.BackUp_Read, Master_Jobs.Job_Title, Master_Jobs.Contact,
Master_Jobs.Due_Date, Master_Jobs.Due_Time, Master_Jobs.Next_Action, Master_Jobs.By_Who

FROM Master_Jobs INNER JOIN
Note ON Master_Jobs.JobID = Note.FK_JobID INNER JOIN
Backup_UserNotes ON Note.NoteID = Backup_UserNotes.BackUp_NoteID INNER JOIN
User_Notes ON Note.NoteID = User_Notes.FK_UN_NoteID INNER JOIN
Job_Assignments ON Master_Jobs.JobID = Job_Assignments.FK_Master_JobID INNER JOIN
Profiles ON Master_Jobs.FK_ProfileID = Profiles.ProfileID INNER JOIN
Users ON Backup_UserNotes.BackUp_UserID = Users.UserID AND User_Notes.FK_UN_UserID = Users.UserID AND
Job_Assignments.UserID = Users.UserID

WHERE Users.UserID = @UserID AND-- Note.FK_UserID = User_Notes.FK_UN_UserID AND
BackUp_Read = 'UnRead'

ORDER BY BackUp_Read ASC

SELECT DISTINCT Master_Jobs.JobID, Profiles.ProfileDescriptor, Backup_UserNotes.BackUp_Read, Master_Jobs.Job_Title, Master_Jobs.Contact,
Master_Jobs.Due_Date, Master_Jobs.Due_Time, Master_Jobs.Next_Action, Master_Jobs.By_Who

FROM Master_Jobs INNER JOIN
Note ON Master_Jobs.JobID = Note.FK_JobID INNER JOIN
Backup_UserNotes ON Note.NoteID = Backup_UserNotes.BackUp_NoteID INNER JOIN
User_Notes ON Note.NoteID = User_Notes.FK_UN_NoteID INNER JOIN
Job_Assignments ON Master_Jobs.JobID = Job_Assignments.FK_Master_JobID INNER JOIN
Profiles ON Master_Jobs.FK_ProfileID = Profiles.ProfileID INNER JOIN
Users ON Backup_UserNotes.BackUp_UserID = Users.UserID AND User_Notes.FK_UN_UserID = Users.UserID AND
Job_Assignments.UserID = Users.UserID

WHERE Users.UserID = @UserID AND-- Note.FK_UserID = User_Notes.FK_UN_UserID AND
BackUp_Read = 'Read'

ORDER BY BackUp_Read ASC
GO

Assuming you only want one result set I have added a union... try this... not test. but it gives you an idea

CREATE PROCEDURE spGetJobsByUnreadAndReadByUserID
@UserID INT
AS

SELECT DISTINCT Master_Jobs.JobID, Profiles.ProfileDescriptor, Backup_UserNotes.BackUp_Read, Master_Jobs.Job_Title, Master_Jobs.Contact,
Master_Jobs.Due_Date, Master_Jobs.Due_Time, Master_Jobs.Next_Action, Master_Jobs.By_Who
FROM Master_Jobs INNER JOIN
Note ON Master_Jobs.JobID = Note.FK_JobID INNER JOIN
Backup_UserNotes ON Note.NoteID = Backup_UserNotes.BackUp_NoteID INNER JOIN
User_Notes ON Note.NoteID = User_Notes.FK_UN_NoteID INNER JOIN
Job_Assignments ON Master_Jobs.JobID = Job_Assignments.FK_Master_JobID INNER JOIN
Profiles ON Master_Jobs.FK_ProfileID = Profiles.ProfileID INNER JOIN
Users ON Backup_UserNotes.BackUp_UserID = Users.UserID AND User_Notes.FK_UN_UserID = Users.UserID AND
Job_Assignments.UserID = Users.UserID
WHERE Users.UserID = @UserID AND BackUp_Read = 'Read'
AND Master_Jobs.JobID not in (
SELECT Master_Jobs.JobID
FROM Master_Jobs INNER JOIN
Note ON Master_Jobs.JobID = Note.FK_JobID INNER JOIN
Backup_UserNotes ON Note.NoteID = Backup_UserNotes.BackUp_NoteID INNER JOIN
User_Notes ON Note.NoteID = User_Notes.FK_UN_NoteID INNER JOIN
Job_Assignments ON Master_Jobs.JobID = Job_Assignments.FK_Master_JobID INNER JOIN
Profiles ON Master_Jobs.FK_ProfileID = Profiles.ProfileID INNER JOIN
Users ON Backup_UserNotes.BackUp_UserID = Users.UserID AND User_Notes.FK_UN_UserID = Users.UserID AND
Job_Assignments.UserID = Users.UserID
WHERE Users.UserID = @UserID AND BackUp_Read = 'UnRead')

union

SELECT DISTINCT Master_Jobs.JobID, Profiles.ProfileDescriptor, Backup_UserNotes.BackUp_Read, Master_Jobs.Job_Title, Master_Jobs.Contact,
Master_Jobs.Due_Date, Master_Jobs.Due_Time, Master_Jobs.Next_Action, Master_Jobs.By_Who

FROM Master_Jobs INNER JOIN
Note ON Master_Jobs.JobID = Note.FK_JobID INNER JOIN
Backup_UserNotes ON Note.NoteID = Backup_UserNotes.BackUp_NoteID INNER JOIN
User_Notes ON Note.NoteID = User_Notes.FK_UN_NoteID INNER JOIN
Job_Assignments ON Master_Jobs.JobID = Job_Assignments.FK_Master_JobID INNER JOIN
Profiles ON Master_Jobs.FK_ProfileID = Profiles.ProfileID INNER JOIN
Users ON Backup_UserNotes.BackUp_UserID = Users.UserID AND User_Notes.FK_UN_UserID = Users.UserID AND
Job_Assignments.UserID = Users.UserID

WHERE Users.UserID = @UserID AND-- Note.FK_UserID = User_Notes.FK_UN_UserID AND
BackUp_Read = 'UnRead'

ORDER BY BackUp_Read ASC
GO
