SELECT RECNO() as ID,Name FROM Test INTO CURSOR T
SELECT T1.Name as Name1, T2.Name as Name2, T3.Name as Name3 FROM T T1,T T2, T T3 WHERE T1.ID=1 AND T2.ID=2 AND T3.ID=3

But this is *horrible* code. You need to rethink this from scratch....




>i used combo boxes and set the control sources to the view and that worked to some extent as i only get the names that are in teh view like all three and i can select but thats not wha ti want
