As a kind soul pointed out, I missed the string joining you need to do, so I feel tasked with addressing this further.. Simple answer: I don't see a way to do this with a single query unless you're using a DB with subqueries.. in which case you might be able to figure something out, but without a server to try this on, I can't say for sure. You could however break it down into two queries and use PHP to patch the data together: query1: get the make/model query2: get the years That type of thing.. Hope that helps. -Micah On Sunday 06 March 2005 06:18 pm, Micah Stevens wrote: > Just reorder your list of selected fields. > > SELECT <fieldnames in order to be returned> from <tablename> WHERE > <requirements> > > -Micah > > On Sunday 06 March 2005 01:10 pm, Wendell Frohwein wrote: > > Hello all, > > > > Have a question for you, don't know how simple this is.
