Actually Bryan, that's not true.  Sub-queries can only return one column.

SOME subqueries can only return one record - others can return multiple 
records.  That's why my original response was to ask what exactly the 
query was.

Example of a subquery that can only return ONE record:

select name from emp where id = ( select id from hr where 
socnum='123456789' );

Example of a subquery that can return MULTIPLE records:

select name from emp where id IN (select id from hr where
socnum like '12345%');
