Question : Display records from two tables, one table missing records

I am using
- MSAccess
- Microsoft SQL Server  2000 - 8.00.760 (Intel X86)
- FrontPage 2002

I have 2 tables: tblGeneral and tblStaff. Both have a common field ChartID.

tblGeneral is the key table in that it has ALL possible ChartIDs. tblStaff is incomplete (does not include all ChartIDs). I am trying to display fields from both tables and want to include all ChartIDs in tblGeneral even if there is no corresponding data in tblStaff.

The results only display records where there are matching ChartID records in both tblGeneral and tblStaff:

My sql statement is:

sql = "SELECT tblGeneral.ChartID, tblGeneral.City, tblGeneral.State, tblGeneral.VISNID, " & _
      "tblStaff.LibManTitle, tblStaff.MLS " & _
      "FROM tblGeneral INNER JOIN tblStaff ON tblGeneral.ChartID= tblStaff.ChartID "
      


Answer : Display records from two tables, one table missing records

sql = "SELECT tblGeneral.ChartID, tblGeneral.City, tblGeneral.State, tblGeneral.VISNID, " & _
      "tblStaff.LibManTitle, tblStaff.MLS " & _
      "FROM tblGeneral LEFT JOIN tblStaff ON tblGeneral.ChartID= tblStaff.ChartID "
