Also, there's no need to use ORDER BY in your subquery, and frankly I'd probably write this using a JOIN instead of a subquery anyway. SELECT c.* FROM companies c INNER JOIN releases r ON c.companyid = r.companyid WHERE c.companyhide = 0 AND r.date_entered BETWEEN DATE_SUB(curdate(), INTERVAL 8 day) AND DATE_SUB(curdate(), INTERVAL 30 day) ORDER BY c.rank, c.company Dave Watts, CTO, Fig Leaf Software http://www.figleaf.com/ Fig Leaf Software provides the highest caliber vendor-authorized instruction at our training centers in Washington DC, Atlanta, Chicago, Baltimore, Northern Virginia, or on-site at your location.
