Instead use the date.fulldate field as it matches the records plus fills in the 'blanks' that way.
Does this help?
I'm not looking to fill in the quotedate field. That will be pulled from the record.
I want to fill in the missing ReqDates (a child field from a sub table) with the Datefull Date from the Datelookup table.

Correct. Though I will be replacing the 1st date with the quotedate and the last with a date of the last day of the month 6 months in the future (from the Quotedate).

Try this for your query: SELECT
dbo.CST_MS_Quote.MSCo,
dbo.CST_MS_Quote.JCCo,
dbo.CST_MS_Quote.Quote,
dbo.CST_MS_Quote.MSHQStatus,
dbo.CST_MS_Quote.QuoteType,
dbo.CST_MS_Quote.Job,
dbo.CST_MS_Quote.Status,
dbo.CST_MS_Quote.Description,
dbo.CST_MS_Quote.QuotedBy,
dbo.RJDateLookup.MonthNumber,
dbo.RJDateLookup.MonthName,
dbo.RJDateLookup.DateFull,
dbo.CST_MS_Quote.QuoteDate,
dbo.CST_MS_Quote.ReqDate,
dbo.CST_MS_Quote.ExpDate,
dbo.CST_MS_Quote.FromLoc,
dbo.CST_MS_Quote.Location2 AS Location,
dbo.CST_MS_Quote.MaterialCode,
dbo.CST_MS_Quote.MaterialDescription,
dbo.CST_MS_Quote.UM,
dbo.CST_MS_Quote.QuoteUnits
FROM dbo.RJDateLookup LEFT JOIN dbo.CST_MS_Quote
ON dbo.RJDateLookup.DateFull = dbo.CST_MS_Quote.QuoteDate and dbo.CST_MS_Quote.QuoteType = 'C'
and dbo.RJDateLookup.MonthNumber <= month(QuoteDate) + 6
WHERE dbo.RJDateLookup.DateFull >= '07/01/2012'
This way you will be filtering the dates based on the date table, not on the quote table. -Dell

Thank You. That is better. But it is still returning dates past 6 months in the future, so it is not stopping when expected.

That's because of your filter - you're filtering for end date on 6 months past the Quote date where the quote date can be any date after 7/1/12. So, if the quote date is 8/1/12, you'll get an end month for that data of 2/1/13. If you want just 6 months, take the date part out of the join an add something like the following to your where clause: and dbo.RJDateLookup.DateFull < "2/1/2013" -Dell

I still think I'm muddling what I'm trying for.
The month and year of the QuoteDate will be used a parameter. I don't need the quote date through the 6 months in the future.
The date field I need for 6 months in the future is the ReqDate. This is the field that has missing data that needs to be filled in by the Datelookup table.
so in essence I want the report to look like this: (Showing Fields rather than data)
Location2
QuotedBy
Material ReqDate (Current Month) ReqDate (Next Month).... (6 months out)
Sum(BidAmt) (0 if ReqDate is missing)
Hopefully that makes more sense and clarifies things a bit.
Again thanks for the assistance.

If your report is pulling multiple quotes, each with a different Quote Date, then you're going to see more than 6 months in your cross-tab, because you have more than 6 months worth of dates in your data. -Dell

Doh'  I realized that after I sent the message.
But I'm still not getting what I expect.
I ran a query for a single quote dated 8/1/2012 and I was hoping to get dates for Aug 2012 thru Feb 2013 and did not. I just got 1 record for that quote. Which had no required dates.
What am I missing and how can I get force/fake the 6 months for the forecast to display?

Please post the exact join and where clauses from your query so that we can see what's going on. -Dell
