*sigh* Well. First problem is that I'm using Microsoft Access. Second problem is that the casinos table has several fields that are meant to collect gametypes. Blackjack,poker,slots,videoslots,tablegames I think. Each of these right now is gathering a comma delimited list of different

Not sure what approach would suit you best here as I am not a fan of Access for web apps at all, so I have next to no experience writing queries in Access to the degree that would be needed to accomplish what you are trying to do. Perhaps someone else can chime in. I still say that your best

mrfff. I just tried this with no luck. SELECT * FROM tblblackjack WHERE str(tblblackjack.blackjackid) IN (Select blackjack from tblcasinos) ORDER BY tblblackjack.blackjackdesc str(tblblackjack.blackkjackid) was supposed to convert the blackjackid value to a string, and then I was hoping

Gel, No amount of casting will turn them into the same values. For example 7 will never be IN (7,8,9,10). The comma-delimted value that you're storing will never be seen as a list, because it's just a string. You'd have to manually loop over the values in the comma delimited list and do a

I got it :) You need to use TRIM because MS Access inserts a space infront the value for the sign. So, SELECT tblcasinos.casinoname, tblcasinos.blackjack AS CasinoBlackjack, FROM tblblackjack, tblcasinos WHERE tblcasinos.blackjack = Trim(str(tblblackjack.blackjackid)) Works as if you did

Yeah, I realised that after I solved the string issue. I did end up doing it in CF..I know its dirty..but there are a number of factors preventing me from redoing the database structure and all the data forms at this time. But hey! We learned how to convert numerics to String succesfully in

I'd stop the bus and fix the tables now. Why move forward with a crappy design. Crap on top of crap equals crap. Two tables. Main tblcasinos table. Has text field called Blackjack which contains a value list of blackjack types. Yes..bad way to do it, but it's done. Second table

I just tested this out. It is long and somewhat cumbersome, but see how it works in terms of speed. I assume you are on SQL Server, if not, save this snippet for a rainy day. I took a stab from your information at how the tables might look. Adjust accordingly. CASINO: CASINO_ID, CASINO_NAME,
