Thank you FG - this is exactly what I needed.

I think I 've got the query perfect, but how best to display like:

5 jane doe send_rep
4 mignon hunter tic 2-3, send_rep

here's my query:
$query = "SELECT cust.id, first, last, company, choice FROM cust, contact
where cust.id = contact.id";
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($res)) {
print_r[4row]
}

this yields me:

Array
(
    [id] => 5
    [first] => jane
    [last] => doe
    [company] => 
    [choice] => send_rep
)

Array
(
    [id] => 4
    [first] => mignon
    [last] => hunter
    [company] => tic
    [choice] => 2-3
)

Array
(
    [id] => 4
    [first] => mignon
    [last] => hunter
    [company] => tic
    [choice] => send_rep
)

Hi all, new to the list :)

I would try something like this:

Select name, company, choice
>From Table1, Table2
Where Table1.id = Table2.id;
