I use Access and have a table with books entered for our library. I
have another database with the ID number of each student.  I have a
third database which is called Book Status.  When a student takes out
a book, I scan the barcode of the book in and the barcode from the
student ID. (These are tied respectively with a relationship to the
Book database and the student database).  When the student returns the
book in the Book Status database I scan the barcode of the book and
that of the student and enter the return date.
I want to be able to print a report that will tell me only which books
have not been returned.  At present I can only print a report that
tells me when books were taken out, and when books were returned, but
I can't have it print one that only indicates which books have not
been returned.  Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I take it that these are separate *tables*, not separate *databases*?

If you're storing the date returned in Book Status, you can just create a
query using a criterion of

IS NULL

on this field to find all the books that have been checked out but not checked
in.
