OK....that's better ;-) You are still selecting designerID from items and designers tables....just select it from one table and not both (or as I said before...alias one or both of them).
I can only guess (if the query is actually running) that it is getting confused between those 2 columns with the same name and you're getting some unexpected weirdness. What if you use CFDUMP to dump the query....do you see the correct data then? HTH Cheers Bryan Stevenson B.Comm.
