The is a html character, in a browser it looks like a space character. It is used in html to prevent a linebreak at that position. Some frontend tools may have a problem with multiple fields with the same name. Try this: SELECT L.Name as LName, C.Name as CName ... > Here are the dumps: I took a quick look, seems ok. I think the above name issue is your problem. You should always try your queries in the mysql client, to eliminate problems related to the front-end tool or script. -- Roger --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
