Hey George,

AFAIK, derived tables in T-SQL need an alias...try this:

 SELECT count(*)
 FROM (
        SELECT ObjectID
        FROM table1 t1 INNER JOIN table2 t2 ON t1.thisID = t2.thisID
        UNION
        SELECT ObjectID
        FROM table1 t1 INNER JOIN table3 t3 ON t1.thisID = t3.thisID
 ) tblDerived

(note the "tblDerived" as the alias)

-Joe
