Default Unmatched Query

I created an “Find Unmatched” Query – comparing a table and a query and
everything worked out fine. Then I created another “Find Unmatched” Query
comparing another table and query and it was a mess. The table intially had
1405 records, the query intially had 1348 records – Then I ran
the query and the total number of unmatched was 39,826. I noticed that it
duplicated A LOT of records – Why would this happen?

Thank you

It sounds like you forgot to join the table and the query.

Probably something is wrong with your unmatched query. Can you post the SQL of
your query?

(Possibly unneeded instructions follow)
Open the query
Select View:Sql from the Menu
Select all the text
Copy it
Paste it into the message
