You need a left outer join: select name, count(sales.client_id) from clients left outer join sales on sales.client_id = clients.id group by name; Outer joins were not supported prior to 7.1, so if you're using an earlier version, you'll want to either upgrade or read the docs for your version;

I think someone pointed out not long ago that that naming convention isn't always 100% reliable. How about creating the sequence dynamically (using that naming convention even), then create the table dynamically and have it explicitly use the sequence you just created. That way you *know* the

Why do you need to change the value of the id field?? The id field shouldn't have any meaning attached to it beyond the fact that it uniquely identifies a row in the table, and of course its usage as a foreign key when it serves that role. If you just want to change what numbers get assigned,

For that matter, you could write a perl function using perl's built-in crypt() function. I'm not sure if it's exactly identical to what mysql does, though I strongly suspect that it is. Philip Hallstrom <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> on 07/23/2001 02:13:27 PM To: Jason DiCioccio <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Drop the semicolon at the end of the string. In this context, it's not needed to tell where the end of the statement is. You might want to use a parameterized stored procedure that does multiple updates inside a transaction. You would invoke the stored procedure via mdb.Execute, as per your e

This is because of the way Access works, and the way it tries to be extra friendly. When you go to change the text box source, it wants to contact the back end so that it can get a list of valid choices for you to choose from, and to validate your choice so you don't type something in that's go
