Query Conundrum

I have created a database for our club members. Whenever a member calls in to order something or ask a question, I have a table called Member Issues where the conversation is documented. I now want to audit these "member issues" to make sure that my representatives are doing a good job. I now have an Audit table that is joined to the Member Issues table so that every issue is able to have an audit. Here's my problem.....

How can I created a query to find all of the Member Issues that DO NOT have an audit yet?

My audit table consists of the following:
ID (primary key)
Member Issue ID (foreign key)
Accuracy (a Correct/Error combo box)
Audit Comments (memo field)
Audit Complete (a Yes/No checkbox)

I tried to query every Member Issue where the Audit Complete was "false" or "is null" but it doesn't return anything. I understand that technically there is no Audit record until I create one, so that may be why my query is failing. I just can't figure out how to find what I'm looking for. PLEASE HELP!!!!
 
I'm sorry that I wasn't clear. When I say "audit", I mean that I want to personally review the data that was originally entered and check it for completeness and accuracy. So the original table "Member Issues" that is used by my representatives has fields for name, date, time, comments, and other details. I want to be able to go into each record and review the data entered and critique the original user of the Member Issues table--that is what my Audit table is for. Each issue will have an accompanying audit record. So each day, I want to go in by database, run a query for all Member Issue Records that do not have an accompanying Audit record. That will let me know which Member Issue Records need to be reviewed.

Does this help?
 
Brilliant! Thank you so much...I would have never come up with the answer on my own. So now I am stuck with getting the results from the query. I have the Member Issue ID from my Issues table and the Member Issue ID from my Audit table....when put "is null" under the criteria for my Audit table...I don't get any results.
I know I'm missing something but I can't put my finger on it.....:banghead:
 
I didn't even know about that feature! Thank you SO MUCH for you help....you're a true lifesaver!:D
