There are two aspects to SQL: DDL (data definition language) and DML (data manipulation language). What I was requesting was the CREATE TABLE statement that creates your table, so I can create it here and toy with your query. In the abstract I find it difficult to sort out this kind of problem. I much prefer to have an instance of the table to work against. If this table is in Access, you could simply extract that one table into a new MDB and send it to me. If it's in SQL Server, then you can generate the DDL statement directly. ----- Original Message ---- From: "Kaup, Chester" <Chester_Kaup at kindermorgan.com> To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving <accessd at databaseadvisors.com> Sent: Thursday, August 3, 2006 4:50:29 PM Subject: Re: [AccessD] SQL Syntax Problem I must express my ignorance here.

No data required, just the DDL.
