Arnaud - Thanks very much for a suggestion! Unfortunately, when I do that (I'm not much of a JOIN expert <g>) I end up selecting ALL the rows in the table.

Does that help? Arnaud -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
