I have 2 Access tables that I created from 2 different Excel Spreadsheets. Table A is the Master. I need to compare Table B to Table A and identify the records from Table B that DO NOT exist in Table A. Can someone let me know how to do this?
 
Pull both tables into the QBE screen. Join them on the key. Now make the join B-to-A a left outer join using the join line editor. Then select all the records that have a key value in A that has the WHERE criterion of IS NULL.
