Find record from Table A that is not linked to Table B

I suspect this is fairly easy and possibly already has an answer in another thread, but I can't find one.

I have 2 tables (Table A and Table B) linked together through a third table (Link Table).  I am trying to find records from Table A that are not linked to Table B.  i.e. they don't exist in the Link Table.

How can I create a report that finds the records in Table A that aren't in my Link Table?  

Thanks.
  • If you create a summary report of the # of link records, then the unlinked records are the ones which have the [# of Links] = 0

      So this would be on my Table A, correct?  I'll have a look.

      I have tried a summary report on both my Table A and on my Link Table.  Table A doesn't give me any link details to count, the Link Table only has the records that exist in the link table (so there are no Links = 0).  I have double-checked this by creating a test record with no links.
