Re: How do I extract ONE particular field, when multiple table contain

If you refere to more than one table in a query, you have to specify
which column to which table belongs. So your query must be

Select XID, xi.DENOM, PRICE, FRT, CTID From XItem xi, Category c Where
xi.System=1 and xi.Category=c.Index
