Hi all

I' wondering if someone can help me out here.

I need to do a three table join. Normally not a problem but in this case I have to 
select usernames from a users table twice. One for each of two other tables. I'll need 
to use a user_id (int) to do the select and then join on the name found. The table 
structure looks something like this

USERS
 user_id
 name

USERLIST
  user_id

STUDENTLIST
 user_id

I want to be able to do something like this

select USERS.name, USERS.name, USERLIST.user_id , STUDENTLIST.user_id student_id
from USERS, USERLIST, STUDENTLIST
WHERE

and then have the name of the user from the user_id in both the USERLIST and the 
STUDENTLIST

my question is in a case like this, how do you correctly associate the 'name' with 
each user_id??

tia for any help

mike
