Hi, thanks for that, unfortunatly that pulls a record of each location in data, when I really just need the distinct locations that match table Locations.

This seems to do the trick but unfortunatly I can'T update the db with this query

SELECT DISTINCT Locations.[location key id],Locations.[Location Id], Locations.[Location Description] From locations, Data
WHERE Data.[Customer Key Id]= " & G_Customer_Key_Id & " AND locations.[location key id] = Data.[Location Key Id];

I think the distinct clause makes it non-updateable because it's an aggregate function.

Any more ideas :-) Received on Wed Aug 06 2003 - 11:27:41 CDT
