>>For me the problem is that you are not aliasing all your fields as you should always do, even in SQL Server; the fact that this time SQL gets the correct result does not mean that is good practice to let SQL identify the fields by its uniqueness, tomorrow you change one of the participating tables to include a d2 field and your code stops working, the syntax you used here is correct for both FoxPro and SQL and in my opinion the
only one that is correct.
