Wim,

Do you have to save the first query results to a saved list? When I run the
first query I get an appropriate subset, but when I run the second from the
Match Tab on the Query Results, I get ALL Individuals.

Hi Julia and Paul,

I had studied earlier on this question but couldn't find it then. Paul's
answer reminded me of this problem because I believed it was possible and I
just found a way. It has to be done in two-steps. I suppose you know how to
do search for everybody that HAVE that particular event. After that search
is completed, go to the search-window again and press the button [Clear
All]. Go to the Match-tab and create the following sentence: Individual:
"Individual 1"; Verb: "is NOT"; Relationship: "in List"; Individual/List:
"Query Results".

When you had saved the List after the first query, you could also use that
saved list in the last sentence.

Gr. Wim
