But when I removed the CLOB from the SELECT, it still gave me 4, with the distinct. I received that output that I included in the last post because I removed the request for the CLOB field. >The reason it's pulling 4 records is because of the OR clause. In each >case, the n.id is 3. hmm. There's one record with n_r_id of 341 and it does have an id of 3. That n_r_id also is listed 4 times in the shared, but there it doesn't have an id of 3 at all. So once it's joined I suppose it does have an n.n_r_id of 3. Is that what you're sayin? And it's seems right that the person who it is shared to only sees it once then? oy - this is not helping my day. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 Experience Flex 2 & MX7 integration & create powerful cross-platform RIAs http:http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;56760587;14748456;a?http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/flex2/?sdid=LVNU Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:267752 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
