Andy .. using the ORDER BY event_no works, but can you help me understand why that eliminates the duplicates?

What you need is to run the same query as you have but with an order by like so... SELECT * FROM events e, category c where e.category=c.cat_no or e.category2=c.cat_no ORDER BY event_no then continue using the group by in the cfoutput as you have..... -----Original Message----- From: Robert Polickoski [mailto:rpolickoski@;isrd.com] Sent: 18 October 2002 03:46 To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: apologies...query display balled up Tim, Use the keyword DISTINCT. I am guessing that because record #128 passes both tests, it is getting two result rows. I am not certain, but I think it will do the trick.
