If I understand you, your table is of OrderItems... One record for each line
item on every order... If that's the case, then the query would look like th
is
Select Distinct OrderID
From OrderItems I
Where Exists
(Select * From OrderItems
Where OrderID = I.OrderID
And Item = 'A')
And Exists
(Select * From OrderItems
Where OrderID = I.OrderID
And Item = 'B')
or...
Select Distinct A.OrderID
From OrderItems A
Join OrderItems B
On B.OrderID = A.OrderID
Where A.Item = 'A'
And B.Item = 'B'

The output of the SELECT is a list of OrderID's. Assuming we have
'customerID' in the Order table AND we have 'customerState' in the Customer
table, how do I "expand" the selection to only give me customers from
California (value="CA"), for example?
Customer Table Order Table
orderID <<<< (SELECT
OrderID...etc.)
customerID <<<<<< customerID (foreign key)
customerState
Again, TIA,

Hi Larry,
SELECT o.OrderID
FROM Orders AS o
INNER JOIN Customers AS c
ON c.CustomerID = o.CustomerID
INNER JOIN (SELECT OrderID
FROM OrderItems
WHERE Item IN ('A', 'B')
GROUP BY OrderID
HAVING COUNT(*) = 2) AS oi
ON oi.OrderID = o.OrderID
WHERE c.CustomerState = 'CA'
(untested - see www.aspfaq.com/5006 for the steps required to get a
tested solution)
Best, Hugo
