    run a report from 2 separate tables

    How do I run a report using 2 tables that don't have a relationship



    Essentially, I have a table for income and one for expenses
    I'd like to run a report subtracting the expenses from the income to get net income etc

    any help would be appreciated

    Could do a UNION query that would get all the records into one dataset.

    Or use subreports, one each for income and expenses. Calculate total in each report footer. Then in a textbox on main form calculate the difference.

    Oh ok - I like both ideas
    I'm still very new at this, so I'll try both to get the idea

    Thanks a million June7!
