Thanks for the help. I got it working. I used SQL92, instead of Oracle's sql standard. I just hate to recode when migrating to mysql or postgresql.

I'm just hoping u guys can understand what i'm trying to achieve from it. [/snip] All you have to change to make this right is change the ON statement after 'left join position c' to 'on b.staffno = c.staffno'. Remember that you are moving from left to right in the join, so your ON must also move from left to right. HTH!
