This might give you a starting point if I understand you correctly...
SELECT h.invoice_number,
h.customer,
l.item,
l.amount
FROM lines AS l
JOIN headers AS h ON l.invoice_number = h.invoice_number
UNION
SELECT h.invoice_number,
h.customer,
s.item,
s.amount
FROM sundries AS s
JOIN headers AS h ON s.invoice_number = h.invoice_number
ORDER BY invoice_number, item
Forgot all about union - I had two individual views, one for
invoice+parts, one for invoice+sundries... didn't think of union to
combine the two views together.
Perfect solution, you've done it for me again Phillip, thanks.
