Hi Tristan, I'm not an MySQL expert but DISTINCT removes duplicate *rows* from your result set. As you select email AND file_name you will always have a unique row (combination of email and file_name). Try without specifying file_name: SELECT DISTINCT email FROM `completed_downloads` WHERE `bu` = 'reech' AND date BETWEEN '2004-06-01' AND '2004-06-30' Regards, Torsten Roehr -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
