Unfortunately, they are not similar.
I appreciate everyone's assistance - I just created two quick SQL
SELECTS testing whether or not the value was in either table and I'm
over it. As always, I was looking to minimize SQL calls but in this
case it's not a big deal - it's not a high-volume transaction.
Thanks everyone for all your help and suggestions.
