Default SQL "NOT IN" doesn't function as expected (refresh)

Correct behaviour can be restored by changing the SERIAL_NUMBER in the

Since this behaviour is clearly incorrect, could someone with a MVP tag
please report it as a bug? SQL queries on a field should be returning the
field's value, not a reference number.

As for my db? I'll have to go with a textbox. It isn't the functionality it
SHOULD have been, but it'll do


Sounds like the problem is the lookup junk in your table. Another reason to
avoid them.
