Hi Guys! Well I tried the INNER JOIN and still can not get it to echo the AdminID so I know it isn't working, (what kind of things should I think about that could make it not work) so far the only query that did work and return the AdminID was my original I believe it was referred to as "hosed" query, yet then it was explained to me that query while picking up the AdminID was then returning all the rows from workorders anyways because I needed the INNER JOIN, so since that isn't working, I'm thinking my best and fastest route ( I have until Monday on this project and this is just one bit of it OUCH) is to use my hosed query then somehow use the resulting AdminID to fetch the orders from the workorders table, question is , would that be a sub query, or do I just make the query results for AdminID a variable to use in another query? Thanks guys and ps. I'm a she not a he, funny that coders are primarily always assumed to be guys...lol Facebook Me: http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1542024891&ref=name Terion On Wed, Jan 28, 2009 at 7:39 PM, Shawn McKenzie <nospam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>wrote: > Chris wrote: > > > >> The main problem is that you've never explained what you want to get > >> from the query.
