Tom, Stephen, I'm trying to parse a query like the following and keep getting various errors (I'd give you the real query but &%^$# Netscape won't do cut-and-paste): SELECT a.1, b.2, c.14, a.2, c.5 FROM a INNER JOIN b ON a.1=b.3 LEFT OUTER JOIN c on a.1=c.2; And I get: ERROR: JOIN/ON CLAUSE REFERS TO 'c' WHICH IS NOT PART OF JOIN. What's wrong here? -Josh Berkus ______AGLIO DATABASE SOLUTIONS___________________________ Josh Berkus Complete information technology [EMAIL PROTECTED] and data management solutions (415) 565-7293 for law firms, small businesses fax 621-2533 and non-profit organizations.
