Hi All, I've continued this thread since my new question is about the same issue, and about SQL code again.
I've got this query Select * from typelookup WHERE (TypeIDFK = 1 AND Type IN (3,4)) AND (TypeIDFK = 2 AND Type IN (1,5)) AND (TypeIDFK = 3 AND Type IN (3,4)) AND (TypeIDFK = 4 AND Type IN (1,4)) AND (TypeIDFK = 5 AND Type IN (3,4)) Which returns nothing, I'm not of the SQL syntax to accomplish what I want. Basically if I break down each of the (TypeIDFK = 5 AND Type IN (3,4)) bits into a seperate query i get a result set of several rows. There's at least one item that meets each of the where clauses and is in each result set. Is there a way to combine all those into ( a working version) of the above query?
