Fabien, How many records do you have in each table? And just how fast do you want this query to be? 1.5 seconds may be optimal for a query this large. Perhaps the only thing you could do at this point is beef up your server. Jay "We are all apparently 'net' literate, why don't we use it to get the information we need?
