I am trying to write a query that excludes all of a particular entry in a field, but still displays entries in which that field is blank. The table is for species observations and I want to exclude records in which "cucumbers" appear in the invert field. When I enter Not "cucumbers" for the invert field criteria, I only see records in which there was an invert recorded, and it was not a cucumber . I want to retain all records, whether and invert was observed or not, except for those in which the invert was a cucumber. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
