Hi, Thanks for the reply.
An example of the record output I was after is... ProjectID ProjectOwner ProjectManager A12345 Bob Smith John Smith from tables: User - UserId FullName 1 Bob Smith 2 John Smith Project - ProjectId ProjectOwner ProjectManager A12345 1 2 I have tried all sorts of joins and statements without much success... I can obtain one name or both names if they are the same... but not different names together in the one record. Can you possibly provide an example of the specific joins you are talking about. I think I must be missing something fundamental here.
