Well, I thought that worked - and it largely did with one problem. If I had a record with my ID (I'm 3) then it found the record. If someone else had a record shared with me, then it found the record - both yays. Unfortunately, if I have my note shared with four people, then I see it four times in my search. Otherwise, it's doing all that I want. I guess that this is because it's making the four shared entries into full entries, but it seems like it should work to me. I am far beyond my DB capabilities at this point.
Here are the two relevant tables: http://hhp.umd.edu/home/db_display.cfm http://hhp.umd.edu/home/db_display_shared.cfm My test record is n_r_id 341. Here's the outputted queryResult: SELECT n.meeting_name,n.type,n.note_date,n.notes,n.type_describe FROM notes_to_the_record n LEFT OUTER JOIN notes_to_the_record_shared s ON n.n_r_id = s.n_r_id WHERE (n.ID = 3 OR s.id = 3 ) AND (1=1 ) ORDER BY UPPER(n.meeting_name) ASC >I think what you really want is something like this: > >SELECT n.meeting_name,n.type,n.note_date,n.notes,n.type_describe >FROM notes_to_the_record n LEFT JOIN notes_to_the_record_shared s on >n.n_r_id = s.n_r_id >WHERE > n.ID = #session.user.id# OR > s.id = #session.user.id# >ORDER BY UPPER(n.meeting_name) ASC ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 Experience Flex 2 & MX7 integration & create powerful cross-platform RIAs http:http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;56760587;14748456;a?http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/flex2/?sdid=LVNU Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:267727 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
