SELECT u.userID, u.firstName, u.lastName, e.eventID, e.userID FROM tbl_020publicUsers u INNER JOIN tbl_020eventDetails e ON u.userID = e.userID HTH -- Mosh Teitelbaum evoch, LLC Tel: (301) 942-5378 Fax: (301) 933-3651 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] WWW: http://www.evoch.com/ > -----Original Message----- > From: Saturday (Stuart Kidd) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, November 02, 2005 12:56 PM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: SQL distinct > > > Hi guys, > > I'm trying to do something simple but having a bit of a bother. > > <cfquery name="GetUsers" datasource="user020"> > SELECT u.userID, u.firstName, u.lastName, e.eventID, e.userID > FROM tbl_020publicUsers u, tbl_020eventDetails e > WHERE u.userID = e.userID > </cfquery> > > I'm trying to get a list of all the users in table tbl)020publicUsers > which have a record in the table tbl_020eventDetails.
