Thanks for the suggestion Marc. But let me explain it a little bit more Rudy.
Basically I'm trying to create a User Profile Interface. The user submits their profile and as well as a document. At a later date they can submit more documents. Therefore, one profile can have multiple documents associated with it. That's why I have one table for profile information and another for document information. The common value between both tables is the "profileID". A profile is created once, but the user can submit a new document each time thereafter because their profileID is inserted to the "busPlan" table. Thus the multiple occurances of the "profileID" in the busPlan table. On the Administration end, these documents are categorized by the following "new, under review, approved and fail" Basically I have two tables: "entreProfile" and "busPlan". I need to pull a value from the "fullName" column from the "entreProfile" table and the DISTINCT "profileID" value from the column named "profileID" in the "busPlan" table. The need for the DISTINCT "profileID" value from the "busPlan" table is that the "profileID" value occurs more than once. My display page currently shows all occurances of a "profileID" value. For example, if John Doe submitted 3 documents, then his name (fullName) value would appear 3 times (because the "profileID" value occurs 3 times in the "busPlan" table). This is my current code which displays all occurances of the fullName and profileID values: <CFQUERY NAME="links" DATASOURCE="database"> SELECT busPlan.*, entreProfile.* FROM busPlan, entreProfile <CFIF status IS "new"> WHERE busPlan.status LIKE "new" AND entreProfile.profileID = busPlan.profileID <CFELSEIF status IS "under_review"> WHERE busPlan.status LIKE "under_review" AND entreProfile.profileID = busPlan.profileID <CFELSEIF status IS "approved"> WHERE busPlan.status LIKE "approved" AND entreProfile.profileID = busPlan.profileID <CFELSE> WHERE busPlan.status LIKE "failed" AND entreProfile.profileID = busPlan.profileID </CFIF> </CFQUERY> I know it's a lot, but thanks again for the assistance. I really appreciate it.
