Thanks for the tip
that occurred to me.. seeing the results helped a tad.. but the aliases (and the nested query in there) was new to me.. so i wanted to learn exactly how the command structure was creating those results..
still a little foggie on it.. but i do think i understand now.. recreating it in another situation may be difficult for me.. but at least thats another building block to a decent foundation of understanding.
Thanks
