The view dem.v_zip2data (which I erronously left out in my first post) does just that - it joins streets to urbs thereby providing urbs with zip codes from the streets table. It, however, only joins those rows which do have a zip code. That leaves out those cities which don't. Which makes me want to UNION on the dem.urb table in the initial problem. > Of course you'll need to adjust the table and field names appropriately. No problem, I can do that. I am not getting the approach right yet.
