How about just an IIF statement...if you are only trying to differentiate between in 1 table...and not the other.

*******************
SELECT tblMasterWell.ID, IIf(IsNull([tblAutoEQ].[ID])=True,"M","A") AS Type
FROM tblMasterWell LEFT JOIN tblAutoEQ ON tblMasterWell.ID = tblAutoEQ.ID;
*******************

Good luck,

> I have two tables. The first table contains a master list of wells. The second table contains a list of wells with automated test equipment. Only some of the wells are automated. I need to generate a list of all the wells with a flag field with a value of "A" if the well is automated and a value of "M" if it is not. I can probably do this with an unmatched query giving me a list of the manual wells and then another query to combine the second table and the results of this query but was looking for any ideas of a better way to do this.
