>Ok, this is making my head hurt. I've got a flat file that has campaign donation data from our local elected officials. I want to identify anyone who made a contribution to two officials. I want the users to be able to pick two officials and then run a select statement that will pull out all the people who have donated to both. I have tried unions, left outer, right outer, inner joins, etc. - nada.

Hi John,
Try
SELECT * FROM Contributuions
WHERE Contributor IN (
SELECT Contributor FROM Contributuions
WHERE official = @Official1 or official = @Official2
GROUP BY 1
HAVING COUNT(*) > 1
)
