As I said this is a code generator (dbqwiksite). So, describing the process for creating the code is different. The $sql is fine, as far as typos or incorrect characterrs. I've gone through those statement very carefully. I've also tried to run a debug with no luck. But I do know that there is something wrong with the statement, since I can get a complete display of all records, but can't search using criteria. Below is the $sql, one I know works , though I've tried others. VendorJobs is the table I'm querying , and since it's made up of values from other static type tables I have all the joins in place. I've also taken the tick marks out, thinking maybe it was a style issue. I'm not sure where to go with it. Getting a response from the company is like pretty difficult. `VendorJobs`.`JobID`, `VendorSignUp`.`CompanyName`, `StaIndTypes`.`CareerCategories`, `StaUSCities`.`City`, `USStates`.`States`, `VendorJobs`.`AreaCode`, `staTaxTerm`.`TaxTerm`, `VendorJobs`.`PayRate`, `staTravelReq`.`TravelReq`, `VendorJobDetails`.`Details`, `VendorJobs`.`PostStart`, `VendorJobs`.`JobTitle` FROM `VendorJobs` INNER JOIN `VendorSignUp` ON (`VendorJobs`.`VendorID` = `VendorSignUp`.`VendorID`) INNER JOIN `StaIndTypes` ON (`VendorJobs`.`Industry` = `StaIndTypes`.`CareerIDs`) LEFT OUTER JOIN `StaUSCities` ON (`VendorJobs`.`LocationCity` = `StaUSCities`.`CityID`) LEFT OUTER JOIN `USStates` ON (`VendorJobs`.`LocationState` = `USStates`.`StateID`) LEFT OUTER JOIN `staTaxTerm` ON (`VendorJobs`.`TaxTerm` = `staTaxTerm`.`TaxTermID`) INNER JOIN `staTravelReq` ON (`VendorJobs`.`TravelReq` = `staTravelReq`.`TravelReqID`) INNER JOIN `VendorJobDetails` ON (`VendorJobs`.`JobID` = `VendorJobDetails`.`JobID`) Stuart --- Philip Thompson <prthomp@xxxxxxxx> wrote: > I think everyone knows that $sql is a statement.
