So a question. Was it necessary to do the c1 alias in the creation of the 2nd sql statement, or was that a convenience to aid in the readability of the code? I'm just trying to understand if the SQL alias in the first statement construction could NOT be reused during the SQL statement second...

Wow. Your code worked perfectly on the first go. I clearly have much more to learn in the land of SQL. Thank you very much for the help.

Thanks for all the help. I'm close to completing the update to my db, but I've a snag when trying to work with sql. Per the recommendations found in this thread, I've done some testing and have gotten to the point where a LEFT JOIN query accomplishes the task of showing all records in the main...
