Maybe I'm trying to use the wrong kind of join ... I was trying to do an INNER JOIN but it wasn't working and I'm starting to think that maybe the problem was my understanding of what an INNER JOIN does rather than how I coded the INNER JOIN (although the code worked in Access but who says Access uses the right syntax!) I have 2 tables: Table1: AttractionID (Primary Key) MemberID AttractionName Desc Contact Address etc. Table2: AttTypeID (Primary Key) AttractionID (Indexed but not unique) Type Table 2 keeps a list of the categories that each attraction in table 1 falls under. For example, Restaurant, Resort, and Gift Shop. If Attraction 1 is a Resort with a Restaurant then there would be 2 entries in Table 2 for the attractionID of Attraction 1 one that had the Type of Resort and one that had the Type of Restaurant. I want to do a select that will bring up 1 row for each combination of Attraction 1 and it's associated category. I thought it should be something like this: SELECT ... FROM table1 INNER JOIN table2 ON table1.AttractionID = table2.AttractionID WHERE ... my condition But I'm starting to wonder if maybe it shouldn't be an INNER JOIN at all. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Bob Horton PneumaSoft Services Inc.
