    Im slightly confused now, did you mean to add that bit to replace the top like so? select DrugTherapy.dtid,DrugTherapy.drugtherapy, (select count (dtid) from ReferralDrugTherapy where dtid = DrugTherapy.dtid) from DrugTherapy INNER JOIN ReferralDrugTherapy ON DrugTherapy.DTID = ReferralDrugTherapy.DTID INNER JOIN CardiacReferrals ON ReferralDrugTherapy.ReferralID = CardiacReferrals.ReferralID WHERE (CardiacReferrals.DateSubmitted BETWEEN @from AND @to) OR (CardiacReferrals.DateSubmitted IS NULL) GROUP BY DrugTherapy.DrugTherapy Or something else? That query alone works, but how would i enter my date ranges still? Many thanks :)

      How about if you try to make that first join an outer join, like this: SELECT DrugTherapy.DrugTherapy, COUNT(ReferralDrugTherapy.DTID) AS Expr1 FROM DrugTherapy LEFT OUTER JOIN ReferralDrugTherapy ON DrugTherapy.DTID = ReferralDrugTherapy.DTID INNER JOIN CardiacReferrals ON ReferralDrugTherapy.ReferralID = CardiacReferrals.ReferralID WHERE (CardiacReferrals.DateSubmitted BETWEEN @from AND @to) OR (CardiacReferrals.DateSubmitted IS NULL) GROUP BY DrugTherapy.DrugTherapy An inner join will join two tables together and return only the records where they match in the "ON" portion. A left outer join will join two tables and return the records where they match in the "ON" portion but will also return any records that didn't match in the table on the left of the "LEFT OUTER JOIN" statement. Be aware that this may bring back null values for fields that you reference in the table on the right side of the join. If you want to do some more research on this, I'd suggest searching for the keywords "OUTER JOIN SQL" on google. Hope this helps.

          I think I should have put a LEFT OUTER JOIN for both of the joins in your statement. Try that and see if it gets you anywhere.

            I think I got it (just change date values in according to your format string, instead yyyy-MM-dd set your format) SELECT CASE WHEN dbo.ReferralDrugTherapy.DTID IS NULL THEN (SELECT TOP 1 t1.DTID FROM DrugTherapy AS t1 WHERE t1.DrugTherapy IN (dbo.DrugTherapy.DrugTherapy)) ELSE dbo.ReferralDrugTherapy.DTID END AS dtid, dbo.DrugTherapy.DrugTherapy, COUNT(dbo.ReferralDrugTherapy.DTID) AS numbers FROM dbo.ReferralDrugTherapy FULL OUTER JOIN dbo.DrugTherapy ON dbo.ReferralDrugTherapy.DTID = dbo.DrugTherapy.DTID left outer join CardiacReferrals on dbo.ReferralDrugTherapy.referralid = CardiacReferrals.referralid and CardiacReferrals.datesubmitted between '2008-01-01' and '2008-02-21' GROUP BY dbo.ReferralDrugTherapy.DTID, dbo.DrugTherapy.DrugTherapy, dbo.DrugTherapy.DTID

              Not quite, it doesnt seem to matter what date range you put it, it always pulls back all the results for each drug type. I tried changing it slightly so the dates in a where to SELECT CASE WHEN dbo.ReferralDrugTherapy.DTID IS NULL THEN (SELECT TOP 1 t1.DTID FROM DrugTherapy AS t1 WHERE t1.DrugTherapy IN (dbo.DrugTherapy.DrugTherapy)) ELSE dbo.ReferralDrugTherapy.DTID END AS dtid, DrugTherapy.DrugTherapy, COUNT(ReferralDrugTherapy.DTID) AS numbers FROM ReferralDrugTherapy FULL OUTER JOIN DrugTherapy ON ReferralDrugTherapy.DTID = DrugTherapy.DTID LEFT OUTER JOIN CardiacReferrals ON ReferralDrugTherapy.ReferralID = CardiacReferrals.ReferralID WHERE (CardiacReferrals.DateSubmitted BETWEEN @from AND @to) GROUP BY ReferralDrugTherapy.DTID, DrugTherapy.DrugTherapy, DrugTherapy.DTID but all that did was give me the same problem where if it doesnt find anything it brings back nothing instead of 0 values. Argh! :wtf:

                  Well say if i put in 01/01/2008 - 01/05/2008 it pulls back records as there are ones within that range. (But also will not display those that dont have anything as 0, just wont display) But say i put in 01/05/2008 - 02/05/2008 then it pulls back nothing

                          My date settings are already set to that. The query that you have given me also just gives the total made, no matter what dates you enter you always get the total, it doesnt calculate any differences. Thanks for your help so far!

                                          It's my pleasure trying to help others... Let me know if you find solution? If you have time to post explanation again then do it and after couple of hours I will try again to find solution. If you post explanation write data how are stored on table, and write result which you want to get. :)
