One of the requirements is that an employee can be a member of the group if they DON'T have a specific UserField value. For Example, something like: Union=N UserField 'Vesting' = from 1 to 9 OR Union=N UserField 'Vesting' {does not exist} Is there a way to do this Can I use *BLANK as the value or something Thanks!

By this I mean, if an employee changed their dependent's birthdate from 2/1/1992 to 2/1/2002 they would like to see both values on the report. Since changes to the dependent table are not logged in history I am uncertain how to do this. Has anybody else had to do this Any suggestions are appreciated.
