HAH, it worked!!! i'll play with it -- i need it to now add a few more
fields from each table, and then present them in order of (vnum, subnum) --
i also need to have it work from within access97 rather than from psql! but i seem to always start at psql and then
writethe same query in
access97. . . thanks much!!!
