Hi, Depending n the number of rows returned from this 'complicated' query, this approach may or may not work.
I am unsure as to which database you are using but each differs in the number of values it can cope with in an IN clause. Lets assume its 1000 values ( or probably closer to 2000). You may wish to limit the number or rows passed to the IN clause. You may care to use: ( an aggregate type query I think its called, but dont quote me) SELECT FROM ( really big and very complicated query ) AS selected_orders INNER JOIN SALESDETAIL sd ON SOMETABLE .SalesHDRID = selected_orders.SalesHDRID a more robust approach I think.

My CF query looks somewhat like this- SELECT salesdetail.packerid FROM SALESDETAIL WHERE SALESDETAIL.SalesHDRID IN (SelectedOrders.SalesHDRID) Now my query SelectedOrders is a really big and very complicated one, so I am not going to just paste it in the IN clause...If anyone has any ideas how to actually reference this sub query by it;s name in the main query above, please let me know ASAP as i need this urgently...
