Wow, our posts crossed in the mail and you suggested the same approach that I discovered independently! (Great minds think alike, right?) I'm working remotely, the server is many states away, and I don't have a local developement environment. I'm modifying the actual working site, though I try to develop new modules in segregated files and rename the or cut and paste the changes into the live files. I don't have the resources to create a local development.
As I've said, I'm using phpMyAdmin with a browser working remotely. I'll see if the query works without the renaming modification after I build some php code to use it. I'm curious about why the front-end can introduce this problem. The query should be the same. The results from mysql should be the same. The display of the results, I can sort of understand, but why just the one column? I wonder what other surprises phpMyAdmin has in store for me. (I'll be using a lot of queries that self-reference the same table: "Places" where a record could be for a town, that belongs to another record for a county, that belongs to another record for a state, etc..)
