Hallo all,

Forgive my SQL "injection" into this list - perhaps an answer to my question 
might also prove useful to others.

I'm using three tables. There is no relationship between table1 and table3.

I first query table1 for ordernumber and productcode, based on the productcode 
containing a certain string.

Outputting the results, I query table2 for ordernumber and t2_ID based on 
table2.ordernumber matching table1.ordernumber.

Looping those results, I query table3 for ID and Company based on table2.t2_ID.

This, rather painfully I do admit, finds the table3.Company(ies) that has(have) 
purchased table1.productcode.

Have Googled and read about how a single select with JOIN and/or UNION would 
achieve these results, but they also mention how I should essentially "start at 
the end" and work my way backwards, so to speak. Can't quite get my head around 
this.

TIA for any advice.
Mark
