Hi Katelyn,
Many thanks for your reply. With a little assistance and some refining, we
ended up with a good working solution (in fact biblioitems was an
unnecessary complication) :
SELECT authorised_value AS Auth_Location, COUNT(items.itemnumber)
FROM authorised_values
LEFT JOIN items ON (authorised_values.authorised_value=items.location)
WHERE authorised_values.category LIKE 'loc'
GROUP BY authorised_value HAVING COUNT(DISTINCT(items.itemnumber))=0;
Best regards and again thanks,
Paul
