Have you tried something like this: SELECT u.username, count(l.username) AS clicks, count(s.username) AS searches FROM `lguser` AS u LEFT JOIN `lghyperlink` AS l ON u.username = l.username LEFT JOIN `lgsearch` AS s ON u.username = s.username GROUP BY u.username ORDER BY clicks DESC -- Roger -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
