You need to join the two tables together: select count(t.*) as c, f.archive, f.forum_id from fo_topics t, fo_forums f where t.forum_id = f.forum_id and f.archive != 1 might work. I assume you have a foreign key in fo_topics linking to fo_forums. Bill -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
