Hi,

Sorry if this has been asked before, I looked through the FAQ but could not find an answer to the following.

I have a Project table which contains amongst other fields, a CreatedByID field and a LastModifiedByID field. Both these fields point to a User table. What I would like to do is get the two usernames from a query on the project table.

I know how to get one usename using the following Sql command but how do I get access to the second username ?

SELECT Project.Name,User.Username FROM Project,User WHERE Project.ID=@id AND User.ID = Project.CreatedByID;

I hope my ramblings make sense

Andy

SELECT Project.Name, A.Username As CreatedBy, B.Username As LastModifiedBy
FROM Project
INNER JOIN User A ON A.ID = Project.CreatedByID
INNER JOIN User B ON B.ID = Project.LastModifiedByID
WHERE Project.ID=@id
