RE: SQL help...

I don't know of a single query that will satisfy your needs (not saying
that there isn't one...) - you might try in whatever language you are using:

select users
for each user
select questions
for each question
select answers
end loop
end loop

This is a bit of computation, but if it's just to generate a report you
should be fine.

Good Luck!
