I would suggest that you include *at least* your MySQL version and operating system any time you post a question to this list. Those two things, particularly the MySQL version, will often have a huge bearing on the problem and the answer to the question. Your question is a perfect example of that: subqueries are not supported before MySQL V4.1 so if you are using V4.0.x or earlier, your subquery will never work; you will either have to rewrite the query so that it doesn't have a subquery or upgrade to a version of MySQL that supports subqueries. On the other hand, if you are using a version of MySQL that supports subqueries, it would be very useful if you could tell us what error message you are getting. Or are you simply getting a result different than the one you expected but no actual error message? We can help a lot more if you do these things. Otherwise, it is like telling us your car is broken and asking what to do without even telling us what kind of car you have or what the symptoms are ;-) Rhino -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
