You've got the right idea, but the wrong syntax. Try this: $iterator = A::Manger->get_objects( require_objects => [ 'b.c' ], query => [ 'data' => { regexp => 'blah' }, 'b.data' => { regexp => 'blah2' }, 'b.c.data' => { regexp => 'blah3' }, ]); IOW, since you're making a call using the A manager and A is the primary table, all related objects are addressed "starting from" a relationship in A. The chaining syntax is described in the get_objects() docs under the "query" parameter: http://search.cpan.org/dist/Rose-DB-Object/lib/Rose/DB/Object/Manager.pm#que ry Same deal for the require_objects parameter and docs. -John ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
