Query doesn't select the columns correctly.

I'm trying to use the LEFT OUTER JOIN. It works but I keep getting a warning says 'your query doesnt select SaleDate, SaleAmount, FirstName and LastName correctly.' This is the code I wrote.

SELECT sa.SaleID, sa.SaleDate, sa.SaleAmount, sa.SalesRepID, sr.FirstName, sr.LastName, sr.SalesRepID FROM Sale AS sa LEFT OUTER JOIN SalesRep AS sr ON sa.SalesRepID = sr.SalesRepID;

Try doing the below. It could be that it only wants these fields and not all the extras you included.

SELECT sa.SaleDate, sa.SaleAmount, sr.FirstName, sr.LastName 
FROM Sale AS sa 
LEFT OUTER JOIN SalesRep AS sr 
ON sa.SalesRepID = sr.SalesRepID;
