Judy writes "I have created a table and do not want the matching records of the created table in the results.

SELECT PONUMBER, POPRCTNM
INTO ##USETAX
FROM POP10500
WHERE DateRECD between '2007-02-01' and '2007-02-28'
AND
ITEMNMBR like '%TAX%'

But my results give me the matching records.
When I run the query on the first table where the date range is between I get 1061 records

Select * from Pop10500 where DateRECD between '2007-02-01' and '2007-02-28'

When I run the second query with the join I get 754 records (Records which match the second table)

Select a.PONUMBER, a.POPRCTNM, a.ITEMNMBR, a.vendorid, a.orcptcost
from Pop10500 a JOin ##USETAX b on a.PONUMBER = b.PONUMBER
AND a.POPRCTNM = b.POPRCTNM
where a.DateRECD between '2007-02-01' and '2007-02-28'
order by a.PONUMBER

So, I want the results to be 303 records "

Thank you for your help. Guess, I was having a brain burp.
