That didn't do it. I tried with parentheses around the 109fh4.rep and
without the parentheses. The really curious thing is that the repetition
only happens within Maryland and starts with the second Maryland entry.
The next state is Maine (alphabetical by the abbreviation ME) and there is
no repetition.

um, that is a join, just uses the older syntax.

Here's the query (actually pulled from 3 sql tables; no joins):
"select
109fh4.rep,
veteransdata04.state,
veteransdata04.cd,
109fh4.party,
1091vote224.vote1091224,
veteransdata04.vetpop,
veteransdata04.totalexpend*1000,
veteransdata04.totalpatients,
veteransdata04.medexpend*1000,
veteransdata04.totalexpend*1000/veteransdata04.totalpatients
from veteransdata04, 109fh4, 1091vote224
where
veteransdata04.ident = 109fh4.ident and
veteransdata04.ident = 1091vote224.ident and
109fh4.ident = 1091vote224.ident
order by $sort_field $sort_order";
$data_set = mysql_query($get_data_query, $dbh);

I have a table created from two mysql tables which shows all Members
of Congress with related data. The Representative's name is pulled
from one sql table and the data from another sql table. When the
php table comes up on the web page, the name of the Representative
for Maryland's 2nd district appears for the 3rd through the eighth
districts as well:
Representative State District
Gilchrest MD 1
Ruppersberger MD 2
Ruppersberger MD 3
Ruppersberger MD 4
Ruppersberger MD 5
Ruppersberger MD 6
Ruppersberger MD 7
Ruppersberger MD 8
The rest of the 435 names are correct in the table on the web page.
The data for MD districts 2-8 are correct. The correct names are
shown in the sql table on the server for MD districts 2-8 and there
are not duplicate entries for Ruppersberger. I tried changing the
spelling of Ruppersberger in the sql table on the server and it
changed for each of the results for Ruppersberger (districts 2-8)
in the web page table.
Why am I getting the repetition shown above?
