Commas in the FROM clause are the same as INNER JOIN. To make it clearer and easier to understand, I'd write it something like this:
SELECT psh.StatID, pt1.TeamName AS Home, pt2.TeamName AS Visitor, psh.GameDate FROM PH_TEAMS pt1, PH_TEAMS pt2, PH_SCORE_HEADER psh WHERE psh.Home = pt1.TeamID AND psh.Visitor = pt2.TeamID; --jeff ----- Original Message ----- From: "Michael J.
