>>Still learning SQL so after a few google searches giving no good results, I figured I would bug the experts. I am trying to get a list of all the unique salesreps (and their names) used in an order into a cursor. The problem is the reps are in three seperate fields on the table: salesrep1, salesrep2, and salesrep3. I am not sure if I need to use three seperate queries and do some sort of combining or if I can do it all in a 1 select statement. The statement below works great for one of the reps. Any help would be appreciated.
