I had already tried Distinct but as you say, it can't really work with the joins I have currently. I'm looking to see if it's possible to simply set the displayed columns (I'm using PHP) of the redundant stuff to "". Which leads me to another question. I've never used temporary tables. Would it be possible for me to do a join and form a temporary table from it? If that's possible, I could get all the data I need for a basic Union and I'd be happy - I think:) cheers kim -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
