This is a SQL question while using Microsoft SMS.

I am trying to write a SQL query looking for a specific file in a specific directory. If the File does not exist, then I want it to display.

here is the Code that I have for it that shows that the file exists... how do I make it show that the file doesn't exist?... what am I doing wrong?

**********************************

SELECT TOP 100 PERCENT SYS.Netbios_Name0, SYS.User_Name0, SF.FileName, SF.FileVersion, SF.FileSize, SF.FileModifiedDate, SF.FilePath,
SYS.Operating_System_Name_and0
FROM dbo.v_GS_SoftwareFile SF INNER JOIN
dbo.v_R_System SYS ON SYS.ResourceID = SF.ResourceID
WHERE (SF.FileName = 'UdaterUI.exe') AND (SF.FilePath = 'C:\Program Files\McAfee\Common Framework\') OR
(SF.FileName = 'UdaterUI.exe') AND (SF.FilePath = 'c:\Program Files\Network Associates\Common Framework\')
ORDER BY SF.FileVersion, SYS.Netbios_Name0

See what happens if you use SF.FilePath <> instead of SF.FilePath =
