Or, if I'm not mistaken, you could do something like: SELECT t1.* FROM table1 t1, table2 t2 WHERE t1.id = t2.rdid AND t2.vid IN (46, 554) ;
That should work, but the joining thing should too. I can never get the joining straight, so I always enjoy a shorter route. -----Original Message----- From: Jochem van Dieten [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, January 19, 2004 4:39 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: SQL Query Question Michael Satterwhite said: > On Monday 19 January 2004 13:17, sulewski wrote: >> Okay, I think I'm missing something obvious.
