How to accoplish this query?

I have a table with ID, first, last, purchase_date.
The items our customers get, they only purchase once a year. I'd like to be
able to find out which customers made a purchase last year (in 2005) and NOT
in 2006.

Right now I have:

SELECT [2005-2006 DIABCO AND NOBLE SHOE Patients].socsec, [2005-2006 DIABCO
AND NOBLE SHOE Patients].f_name, [2005-2006 DIABCO AND NOBLE SHOE
Patients].l_name, [2005-2006 DIABCO AND NOBLE SHOE Patients].svc_date,
[2005-2006 DIABCO AND NOBLE SHOE Patients].procedure
FROM [2005-2006 DIABCO AND NOBLE SHOE Patients]
WHERE ((((([2005-2006 DIABCO AND NOBLE SHOE
Patients].[svc_date])=#1/1/2005#-#12/31/2005#) And (([2005-2006 DIABCO AND
NOBLE SHOE Patients].[svc_date])=#1/1/2006#-#12/31/2006#))=False))
ORDER BY [2005-2006 DIABCO AND NOBLE SHOE Patients].svc_date;
--------------------------------------------------------

But this gives me customers who have made a purchase in EITHER 2005 or 2006,
but I only want to see the ones from 2005.

Any help is appreciated.

One way to approach this is to break it into smaller steps.

You can create a query that returns all the 2005 purchasers, right? You can
create a second query for all the 2006 customers, right?

Now use the New Query Wizard to help you create a "not in" query. You want
to know which "2005 customers are NOT IN the list of 2006 customers", right?

Thanks for the reply, Jeff.
How exactly do you create a "not in" query. I tried the Query Wizard and
didn't see that option.
Or do you mean start a new query based on two previous queries for 2005 and
2006 customers and see which customers are on one query and not the other?

Exactly. Access may call it "unmatched"...
