OK. I think I have resolved this issue. The problem I am having now is that I have a simple table that is a list of systems to exclude from the display. I am having trouble figuring out how to structure my query to actually exclude the systems in this table. Here is what I tried, and it gives me 13 instances of every entry, 13 is the number of hostnames in the exclusion table. $query = "SELECT AllMid_Data.CPU_Hostname FROM AllMid_Data, exclusion WHERE AllMid_Data.CPU_IN_SVC = \"Y\" AND AllMid_Data.CPU_DNS = \"sbcld.sbc.com\" AND AllMid_Data.CPU_Hostname != exclusion.hostname ORDER BY CPU_Hostname ASC"; $results = mysql_query($query, $Prod) or die(mysql_error()); $system = mysql_fetch_assoc($results); Additionally, what I am actually working towards is that if a system shows up in either of the other queries it gets excluded from this one. I have not tried anything to make that happen yet. I will tackle that challenge once I can resolve this part. Thanks again.

I do not escape my quotation marks in a query. I use single quotes within my insert and select statements. If it says "No valis MySQL resource then you are returning 0 records which may be caused by escaping the quotations. I follow this pattern $sql ="INSERT INTO <table> VALUES ('some value','another value','etc')"; NIPP, SCOTT V (SBCSI) wrote: > I am getting errors for the following queries.
