that's okay, just realize that you are making some pretty basic errors, and please don't take the replies you get as derogatory ;o) > SELECT Table1.*, Table2.* > FROM Table1, Table2 > WHERE Table1.category LIKE '%#category#%' > AND Table2.category LIKE '%#category#%' there's still a problem here -- if table 1 has 15 rows where the category contains dog, and table 2 has 35 rows where the category contains dog, then your answer will contain FIVE HUNDRED AND TWENTY FIVE rows, because you don't have a join condition as for doing query in a loop, this should be avoided if at all possible sometimes it's unavoidable, such as when you are inserting multiple rows from an input form -- mysql has some useful (if non-standard) syntax for inserting multiple rows in a single INSERT VALUES statement, but that's not your problem here you should never return the results of one query to your CF code in order to insert them into another table look up the INSERT SELECT syntax rudy - You are subscribed to the CFUGToronto CFTALK ListSRV.
