Thanks for the response.  Let me pose the example this way: 
 
I'm attempting to write a query against a table (Table_A).  Let's 
say the table has three columns with various records.  Column_1 lists 
the names of vehicle manufacturers.  I have a preexisting list that 
I'm attempting to bounce of my table.  I want, however, all of the 
names in my preexisting list to appear in my results.  If the criterion 
doesn't exit, it should say 'NULL'.  Thanks for any help. 
 
For example: 
 
Table_A 
 
COLUMN_1	COLUMN_2	COLUMN_3 
Ford		Blue		4door 
Chevy		Blk		2door 
Honda		Blue		4door 
Nissan		Red		2door 
 
My preexisting list looks like this: 
 
Ford 
Chevy 
Honda 
Nissan 
Toyota 
Jeep 
 
I want to select every record from COLUMN_2 and _3 that = Blue and 
4door. 
I want my results to look like this: 
 
Vehicle_Make	Column_2	Column_3 
Ford		Blue		4door 
Chevy		null		null 
Honda		Blue		4door 
Nissan		null		null 
Toyota		null		null 
Jeep		null		null
