Sorry, here's the results. BTW the query works it just seems overly complex and I'd like to streamline it. CREATE TABLE `employees` ( `EmployeeID` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment, `FirstName` varchar(50) default NULL, `LastName` varchar(50) default NULL, `DateTerminated` datetime default NULL, `UserName` varchar(15) default NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`EmployeeID`) UNIQUE KEY `EmployeeID` (`EmployeeID`) ) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 CREATE TABLE `problemreports` ( `PRNo` double NOT NULL auto_increment, `Status` varchar(10) default NULL, `Responsible` varchar(20) default NULL, `Priority` varchar(10) default NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`PRNo`), UNIQUE KEY `PRNo` (`PRNo`) ) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1
>>> [EMAIL PROTECTED]> 4/4/06 1:56:10 PM >> You are new at this, aren't you? First thing you need to do is to let us see exactly what we need to deal with. Please respond with the results of the following two commands SHOW CREATE TABLE Employees\G SHOW CREATE TABLE ProblemReports\G We (the list members) will be able to help straighten you out from there (there are lots of things we need to talk about but I think that we should get you working first, ok?) Always CC the list (or hit the REPLY TO ALL button or whatever you have in your email client). That way everyone on the list stays informed of the progress of this issue.
