Sample data.

From inven table
CN-01F 01HFem56SerNon-Lock 2505 0 100 0.017 0.0168 579 1972 472 616 PIO
02962793 010201 16 010201 PAC _ 0.0018

From conn_xr table
CN-01F CN-01F 2962793 02962793

Old server join returns this
CN-01F 01HFem56SerNon-Lock 2505 0 100 0.017
0.0168 579 1972 472 616 PIO 02962793

I'm not sure you've given us enough info to help you. Is there anything
odd about your table structure? Maybe the two databases were inited with
