Using "Not" in a Conditional Statement

You can insert NOT in front of a conditional statement or a group of conditional statements. If NOT is inserted in front of a group of conditional statements, it applies to all conditional statements within that group.

To insert NOT in front of a conditional statement or group

1. Open the Query Builder.
2. Click the Conditions tab and add all conditional statements.
3. If necessary, group the conditional statements.
4. Select the Not check box of a conditional statement, or the first statement in a group.
5. Click OK to run the query.

Example

Query Builder would select contacts who live anywhere in California other than Los Angeles or San Francisco.

This is how the grid on the Conditions tab will appear for this example:

Not	(	Field	Operator	Value	Case Sens	)	And/Or
NOT	(	Contact.Address.City	equal to	Los Angeles	True		OR
		Contact.Address.City	equal to	San Francisco	True	)	AND
		Contact.Address.State	equal to	CA	True		END

A query may contain subgroups within a group. If NOT is used in front of a group, it applies to all subgroups contained within the group.
