Missing records when a table is included in a query

[Kila]

I am working with a normalized database that has MANY tables. Most of these consist of lists of options to select from for the primary table. The primary table is linked to the secondary tables (and those to tertiary tables) by Primary Key ID fields, and the other tables contain additional information.

For Example, the Name list table is related to the Actions table by the SSN field, and the Actions table is related to the PayStatus table by an ID number collected by a lookup field.

When I pull all three tables into a query to display all the information related to a particular individual an his action, there are more records if I remove the PayStatus table from the query. It seems to only pull reports for which a PayStatus has been selected.

How can I get the query to display ALL the records, whether or not the individual has a pay status? Whether or not the individual has one is irrelevant, but I want his name to be displayed, whether or not he has one.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Worked great! Thanks! I wish I had tried that before I tried to put a "blank" and "Not Applicable" fields in 2000 fields so that they would show up. I finally posted b/c I was missing 6 records even though I thought I had gotten them all!
