However when I used left join (trying to learn it) I issued this command:
SELECT QA.OperatorID, QA.QAID, QA.BrandID, QA.Batch, QA.KeyDate, Batch.[Order], Batch.Errors, Batch.Comments FROM QA Left Join Batch ON (Batch.QAID=QA.ID) WHERE ID='77363';
How do I get around to it with 2 different names that uses SAME table?
QA.OperatorID (operator) QA.QAID (reviewer)
Or am I asking for the impossible?
It's not impossible, but I don't think you've provide enough info to provide an example with your data. The left join is not the problem. What you need is to join the same table twice - to do this properly you need to give each reference to that table an alias. So lets say your names are in a table called "names" with fields: id and name. Then add this to your SQL:
join names QAO on QAO.id = QA.OperatorID
join names QAR on QAR.id = QA.QAID
