Hi Stuart, I'm not the world best at SQL and it helps me to build my queries in MS SQL. I keep queries running in ms sql where I can and only do it from a cfm file when absolutely necessary. Even if it needs to be done from the cfm file, I still create it in ms sql first, then copy across the sql code.
Sorry I can't help with your specific problem, but I hope you find this works for you.
