I have 2 tables, basically the same structure....the important fields are
the ones that are named the same.

Table 1
ID, Visit, A,b,c.......

Table 2
ID, Visit, a,g,f.....

I need to combine the two tables in a view(or 3rd table as last resort)
there are limits to what data I need...
For example,

The ID might be in both tables, if so I need the one that the visit is not
NULL
but if the ID is in only one table, take it even if it is null

Can anyone get me started on this one???

Thanks in advance
