Post your SQL statement.

If you've used an Outer join then you should be ok. However, if you have
duplicate values in fieldA you can get multiple matches.

SELECT *
FROM Table1 Left Join Table2
   ON Table1.A = Table2.A

If Table1 has three records and field A is "10", "10" and "20" in both and
Table2 has three records with values in A of "10","10", and "15", then you will
get 5 rows returned.

10, 10
10, 10
10, 10
10, 10
20, No Match
