Using your example, create a table with the numbers 1 to 100. Create an
unmatched query using the unmatched query wizard that includes that table
and your sales table that contains the serials you sold. The unmatched query
will return the serials in the 1 to 100 table that are not in your sales
table. To create an unmatched query, open to the list of queries and click
New. One of the options will be to open the unmatched query wizard.

thanks for the reply i already know what you told me but i am confused about
the question i have asked it could you please the serial number in my example
then you will know understand yourself that what i mean and that can't be
done through match or unmatch queries. that's why i am saying a
challenge for everybody to sort it out

thankx

Dear Naveed,

I believe that I do understand what you are saying. And, if you will
forgive me, that I may have thought through the possibilities within what you
are saying more than you have, and so might understand what you are asking
even better than you do. :-)

Is this correct:

You are saying that you typically start with a group opf items of the same
type, but each with a different serial number, and typically a set of
sequential serial numbers. And that any one of these items may get sold
/removed. (e.g you can't dictate that they take the lowest or highest serial
number.)

And, you have given us an example, where someone has taken one out of the
series and want the datebase to show you whic ones are still in stock. And
since the PARTICULAR example that you have in mind (just one missing) is
where the missing one is an exception, you are imaging a system which will
serve for that example, I.e. to say "1 through 87" and 89 thought 100" are in
stock. And so you are imaging some systems that will base it's answer
based on where the (one) "gap" is. You probably haven't thought about the
more complex scenerios, e.g where someone has removed the following serial
numbers: 3,5,8,11, 22-29, 35, 39, 45--49. 51. 55.56. 61, 70-75, 85,86,
93, 94. And, you have probably made the common error of thinking that this
can be solved without starting from the ground up by desigin a table
structure that will support accomplishing what you are trying to do. I.E.
making the mistake that you can skip this table structure step and go right
to the finish line of what you seek via some query or form action.

If all of my guesses are correct, then my previous post would give you a
foundation that would be a good starting point for solving this. More
work would be needed after that, but it would be a foundaiton.
