Re: [MS_AccessPros] Not In (SELECT

Because that would result in A00001 showing up as both Active and Inactive. This a pass-through query running on SQL, but works fine in Access.

Why are you using NOT IN? First off, Access optimizes that very badly. But it should have worked.

This should do it:

SELECT DISTINCT AcctID, Status

FROM tblUnisysBiller

WHERE AcctID Is Not Null AND Status='Active'

UNION SELECT DISTINCT AcctID, Status

FROM tblUnisysBiller

WHERE Status <> 'Active'

ORDER BY tblUnisysBiller.AcctID

The following SQL isn't working. The second part of the UNION is returning 0 records when it should return 5,724.

SELECT DISTINCT AcctID, Status

UNION SELECT DISTINCT AcctID, Status

WHERE AcctID Not In (SELECT DISTINCT [AcctID] FROM [tblUnisysBiller] WHERE [Status] = 'Active' )

ORDER BY tblUnisysBiller.AcctID

I am trying to return list of all accounts with their status. In tblUnisysBiller, the key fields are AcctID and Device. An AcctID can be listed several times. If an AcctID has a Status of 'Active' at least once, I want it to return as 'Active'. If it does not have any 'Active' Status, it should show as 'Inactive'. Status is a text field with either 'Active' or 'Inactive' (that's how it comes in from an external source).
