Subject: database query

I have two tables in my DB:

Companies:

company_ID (PK)
company_name
etc

Contacts:

contact_company_FK (FK linked to company_ID)
contact_name
etc

What I need to do is query the DB and get all the companies and all the 
contacts associated with that company, even if there are no contacts for a 
particular company.  I am passing in the #company_ID# to the page.  I think 
what I am supposed to be doing is a LEFT JOIN, but I can't get the syntax 
to work correctly.

Anybody got any ideas for this?  I am using the evil MS Access DB and CFMX
6.1.

Thanks!

Ray
