What I _really_ want is the combination of your two querys, that is, product_name, product_description, from the product table + all the specs related to the product from the specs table , based on the fg00914 number.
I should get 7 rows in this example I'm using this query in a php web page that displays all that data, and it seems better to do it with one query. Michael "Michael T.

SELECT * FROM products WHERE fg_number = "fg00914"; - returns one line SELECT * FROM specs WHERE fg_number = "fg00914"; - returns 7 lines? -- Michael T.
