Hi Marc-André, That's a much better way of doing this. Thanks! Martin
P.S.

Like this : SELECT tbl1.ID, tbl1.fld1, tbl1.fld2 ... FROM tbl1 JOIN tbl2 ON tbl2.ParentID = tbl1.ID JOIN tbl3 ON tbl3.ParentID = tbl2.ID WHERE tbl1.ID = 4 Try that and tell me if that work for you. I've got a similar problem and that's how I was able to make it work. Probably it has something to do with the way SQLite parse the request.
