Kim, Got it in one! Thank you so much.
I was using MysqlCC and, although I was aware of the general issue around limits, I had no idea that it would affect sub-queries. I tried the query from the command line and it worked. For anyone else who runs into this, setting the MySQL option as Kim suggests works, but be sure to do the following: - To set the limit on SELECT queries to "unlimited", set "Automatically limit SELECT queries to" to zero - I couldn't similarly set maximum join size, but as long as it was one less than maximum allowed packet, that seemed to work - Remember to close your query window and re-open it (to create a new connection) after making the changes. At least I think that's what's required - the limit wasn't going away after I'd reset it. Thank you again - I don't think I would have found that on my own.
