Yeah, I guess a FULL one is exactly what I think I'm looking for. Still can't work the query out though, since both columns have different column lengths MySQL is complaining - I need to know how to NULL the non-existant table columns for the rows that doesn't have any values for them. Any hints? ;-) -- Kim Christensen [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
