Re: It's incredible - FOLLOW UP

Hi Chris. There is a thread going on about the OUTER JOIN issue ( I don't want to call it a bug until the nature of the problem is better understood). Is there any way that you can provide more information about the OUTER JOIN situations that you are running into? Specifically the query and how results are different from what you are expecting. Thanks alot.
