Hey everyone: Thanks for the pointers and tips.
I found the problem. It was painfully simple. I needed to specify which table I wanted to pull the fields from. I still have to get the select all out of there and only pull what I need, but here is the working query statement: <cfquery name="q_get_company_n_contacts" datasource="#datasource#" dbtype="odbc"> SELECT * FROM companies LEFT OUTER JOIN contacts ON companies.company_ID = contacts.contact_company_FK WHERE companies.company_ID = <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_integer" value="#company_ID#"> </cfquery> Thanks!
