It, however, only joins those rows which do have a zip code. That leaves out those cities which don't. Which makes me want to UNION on the dem.urb table in the initial problem. > Of course you'll need to adjust the table and field names appropriately. No problem, I can do that. I am not getting the approach right yet. Karsten -- GPG key ID E4071346 @ wwwkeys.pgp.net E167 67FD A291 2BEA 73BD 4537 78B9 A9F9 E407 1346
