I meant to add try using it aliased like #m.main_category_id# Control + Enter is the worst shortcut ever. :-)

Is this a CF issue or an Access database driver issue? http://azarflooringgallery.com/bud.cfm This is a very simple, and quite standard query. SELECT M.*,C.* FROM Main_Categories M LEFT OUTER JOIN Categories C on M.Main_Category_ID = C.Main_Category_ID Note the Main_Category_ID is being returned with the alias in it's name. The field is actually named Main_Category_ID C.Main_Category_ID and M.Main_Category_ID I'm getting the error Variable MAIN_CATEGORY_ID is undefined. I can get it to go away, but only if I manually enter all field names and exclude Main_Category_ID from one of the tables. Why would someone change the behavior of something so drastically? This will be affecting code everywhere. -- Bud Schneehagen - Tropical Web Creations, Inc. _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ Web Based Solutions / eCommerce Development & Hosting http://www.twcreations.com/ - http://www.cf-ezcart.com/ Toll Free: 877.207.6397 - Local & Int'l Phone/Fax: 386.789.0968 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:260850 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
