Can you give us an example?

By the way, I use Access a lot to build and model complex queries - I use linked 
tables via MyODBC, and I play with it until I get it right, then hack Microsoft's idea 
of SQL until the syntax is right, then feed it to MySQL. Works like a charm. :)

You might want to try the same thing with your query.

so unwilling to fight to preserve the few freedoms they have left.
