Problem with Crystal Report and SQL Syntax

Question

I am developing a report application using Visual Studio 2010 and Crystal Reports with SQL Server Express 2005. I have two tables in the database called tblUserActive with field (memberID, joindate) and tblUserInactive with field (memberID, leavedate). I want to display all the field in tblUserActive as long as not recorded in tblUserInactive. I'm using this syntax

VB

Dim mSql As String = "SELECT * FROM tblUserActive WHERE NOT memberID IN (SELECT memberID FROM tbUserInactive)"
Dim da As SqlDataAdapter = New SqlDataAdapter(mSql, mdlConnection.cn)
Dim ds As New DataSet
da.Fill(ds)

Dim rptDocument As New ReportDocument
rptDocument.Load(Application.StartupPath & "\Reports\RepMember.rpt")
rptDocument.SetDataSource(ds)

Me.CrystalReportViewer1.ReportSource = rptDocument
Me.CrystalReportViewer1.Refresh()

When I run this shows all memberID in the tblUserInactive. Is the sql syntax error? Or should I use SelectionFormula? But how can I use it while the criteria field is in another table? Please help me.

Solution 1

Try by changing your SQL Suery as below.

VB

Dim mSql As String = "SELECT * FROM tblUserActive WHERE memberID NOT IN (SELECT memberID FROM tbUserInactive)"

Below link will give you more details around "Subquery".

I use as what you suggested and it still doesn't work. Any other methods?

Execute this query in SQL Server Query Editor, see what result you get.

I have executed this syntax in SQL Server Query Editor and the result is as I'm expecting. Is it possible that Crystal Reports for VS 2010 doesn't support SQL SubQuery syntax?
