James,

If you are wanting ALL the possible permutations, you could do something like this:

USE IN SELECT('curTest')
SELECT 0
CREATE CURSOR curTest ( ;
		iPK int AUTOINC NEXTVALUE 1 STEP 1, ;
		cName char(10), ;
		cAddress char(10), ;
		cCompany char(10))

INSERT INTO curTest ;
		(cName, cAddress, cCompany) ;
	VALUES ;
		('Chad', 'Texas', 'TUES')

INSERT INTO curTest ;
		(cName, cAddress, cCompany) ;
	VALUES ;
		('James', 'Hawaii', 'DataCraft')

INSERT INTO curTest ;
		(cName, cAddress, cCompany) ;
	VALUES ;
		('Bob', 'Oregon', 'Microsoft')


SELECT c1.cName, c2.cAddress, c3.cCompany ;
	FROM curTest c1 ;
		INNER JOIN curTest c2 ;
			ON .t. ;
		INNER JOIN curTest c3 ;
			ON .t. ;
	ORDER BY c1.cName, c2.cAddress, c3.cCompany

For narrowed down results, you can change the ON clauses to something like this:

INNER JOIN curTest c2 ;
	ON c1.iPK # c2.iPK ;
INNER JOIN curTest c3 ;
	ON c1.iPK # c3.iPK ;
		AND c2.iPK # c3.iPK ;

You can also see if changing INNER to FULL makes any difference.

HTH,
Chad

>If it were only name and address that would be alright, however the trick is to get it to work so that another group could be added, say company names and there are more one or more company names as well.

>Record 1: name1+company1+address1
>Record 2: name2+company1+address1
>Record 3: name3+company1+address1
>Record 4: name1+company2+address1
>Record 5: name2+company2+address1
>Record 6: name3+company2+address1
>Record 7: name1+company1+address2
>Record 8: name2+company1+address2
>Record 9: name3+company1+address2
>Record10: name1+company2+address2
>Record11: name2+company2+address2
>Record12: name3+company2+address2
