My Query below returns all the data from arsap and the intersection between ARSAP and users table

select NAMEEMPL from SAMINC.dbo.ARSAP LEFT OUTER JOIN
dbo.Users ON NAMEEMPL = User_FirstName + ' ' + User_LastName Collate Latin1_General_CI_AS

what i need to do is to only return the data that is not matched from ARSAP table to users table above.

any help will be much appreciated.

regards
