  Hi John

  It's going to look something like this:

  SELECT m.ProductID, m.ProductName, m.Price, t.Price

  FROM MyPricingTable m

  LEFT JOIN TheirPricingTable t ON t.ProductID = m.ProductID

  WHERE t.Price - m.Price > 20

  There's very little information to work with; you won't get an answer straight away, instead you will get a barrage of questions until enough is known about your problem. The following link provides guidelines on how to post a question to get an answer quickly:
