[AccessD] Missing Issues Query

Bryan:

I usually do something like this with a bit of code.  I find it much easier
than trying to fashion a query.  You could start with a query to retrieve
all the magazines in sequence using volume and sequence.  Then just loop
through the recordset comparing the current to the previous to see if it's
in sequence.  Make a temp table of all the missing one and use the temp
table as the basis for the report.

Bryan,

    My sample db named TrackMissingAndDuplicates might be of interest to
you. It is available at Rogers Access Library (other developers library).

  Good Day folks,

  HELP!!!

  It's been so long since I've done anything in Access that I can't even
  begin to think of how to create this query.

  What I'm looking for is similar to a "Missing Check" report in
  Quickbooks, you know one that lists all of the check numbers that
  aren't there.

  What I have is a DB for all my National Geographic Magazines (and
  eventually all my other assorted magazines) and I'm trying to create a
  query (and eventually a report) that lists all the issues that are
  missing.

  Right now, what I have is a table:
  iss_ID
  iss_Magazine_FK
  iss_Volume
  iss_Number
  iss_Date

  iss_Magazine_FK is a FK to the name of the Magazine held in another
  table (currently it is only holding a value of 1 since I only have 1
  Magazine available to choose from)
  iss_Volume is an integer that holds the Volume number (1-212)
  iss_Number is an integer that holds the Issue Number (1-6)
  iss_Date is a date/time that holds the date of the issue

  How do I even begin to start to write this query?
