                                            | I cannot figure out how to do this and I know it's probably very simple.   I have 2 temp tables that I want to join: Table 1 is my full list and Table 2 is what I want to delete from Table 1. The results I want to insert into a permanent Table 3.Here's is basically my code but I don't know what I need to exclude Table2 accts from Table1 and put it into Table3.truncate table Table3insert	Table3select 	t1.ACCT#, 	t1.ESCPY1,	t1.ESCPY2,	t1.ESCTYP,	t1.COVERG,	d1.PYECD1,	d1.PYECD2,	d1.PYENME from #Table1 t1 inner join #Table2 d1 on t1.acct# = d1.acct#and t1.esctyp = d1.esctypand t1.escpy1 = d1.pyecd1???? |

                                          | I'm not clear what should go into Table3 based on your wording. Could you show us a quick data example for all 3 tables, meaning what's in Table1, what's in Table2 and what should go into Table3?Tara KizerSQL Server MVP since 2007http://weblogs.sqlteam.com/tarad/  |

                                          | You could do the following for example:Selectt1.ACCT#,t1.ESCPY1,....into Table3from #Table1 t1wheret1.ACCT# NOT IN (Select ACCT# from #Table2)So basically this takes ALL (#Table1) and removing everything that is similar to some (#table2)EDIT:If you are joining #table1 and #table2, this will result everything you want to delete essentially. Reason I say this is because you are joining on the ACCT# for both the temp tables, so this will result in everything that is alike between the two. You could do a left join from #table1 to #table2 which will result in NULL's where the data does not match.  |
