RE: [SQL] combining a single field in two tables into one column.

HAH, it worked!!! i'll play with it -- i need it to now add a few more
fields from each table, and then present them in order of (vnum, subnum) --
i also need to have it work from within access97 rather than from psql!
but i seem to always start at psql and then write the same query in
access97. . . thanks much!!!
