JOIN on a lookup table

Hi All,

I am working on a view that needs to join a table that holds lookup
information. It is a fairly simple id vs name relationship. How can I get
the different names I am looking for? Below is what I have for a query so far
but obviously it isn't working. Any hints will be appreciated.

SELECT tbl_item.id AS item_id,
tbl_item.sales_gl_account AS acct_sales_gl_nmbr,
tbl_gl_account.description AS acct_sales_gl_name,
tbl_item.inventory_gl_account AS acct_inv_gl_nmbr,
tbl_gl_account.description AS acct_inv_gl_name,
tbl_item.cogs_gl_account AS acct_cogs_gl_nmbr,
tbl_gl_account.description AS acct_cogs_gl_name
FROM tbl_item
JOIN tbl_gl_account
ON ( account_id = sales_gl_account AND
account_id = inventory_gl_account AND
account_id = cogs_gl_account )
ORDER BY tbl_item.id;

Kind Regards,
Keith
