GOAL:

How to filter for records that do not have a related record in the joined table

GOAL:

How to display only the records from the Controlling table that do not have related records in the related table

FACT(s) (Environment):

Progress 8.x
Progress 9.x

FIX:

1. Define a Left Outer Join between the tables.
This will return all of the records from the controlling table and any matching records in the related table. Report builder will use the ? as a value for the files in the related table when a matching record is not found.
2. Create a filter on the related tables field which is part of the join field pair.
field = ?
This will return only the records from the main table that do not have matching records in the related table.
