I am having a problem pulling what I want from a couple of tables and any
help would be greatly appreciated.  Find below a simple synopsis of the two
tables.

Table(A)
---------
CategoryName           CategoryID
-----------                ------------
CategoryName1            1
CategoryName2            2
CategoryName3            3

Table(B)
---------
CategoryID    ItemID
------------    --------
1                    20
2                    20
1                    20
3                    35

CategoryID is the common key.  What I want to do is pull a list of
CategoryNames from Table(A) where the ItemID in Table(B)  = 20.  I want the
CategoryName returned once.  Every way that I have tried it, I get the
CategoryName repeated for each entry in Table(B).

Query:
SELECT a.CategoryName
FROM Table(A) a, Table(B) b
WHERE a.CategoryId = b.CategoryID
AND b.ItemID = 20

Results returned:                    Desired Results:
----------------                     -----------------
CategoryName1                    CategoryName1
CategoryName1                    CategoryName2
CategoryName2

Again, any help would be greatly appreciated.
