yeah..that is what i'm trying to do, but

I need to query WHERE contact_name='Supplier' and bring back the value for
contact_value
query WHERE contact_name='RANO' and bring back the value for
contact_value
query WHERE contact_name='Dynamic' and bring back the value
for contact_value
query WHERE contact_name='PrevSys' and bring back the value
for contact_value
Which are all different rows in the second table....
with the same ID field
thats how they are linked to the first table

thanks...

Matt
