I have a table called Users, and another table called Transfers. In the Transfers table I have two user id fields specifying the person who did the transfer and the person who received it. How can I get both user names for a transfer eg. transferDate, FullNameOfPersonWhoDidTransfer, FullNameOfPersonWhoReceivedTransfer

Join Users table twice like

select a.transferDate
,b.Name as [FullNameOfPersonWhoDidTransfer]
,c.Name as [FullNameOfPersonWhoReceivedTransfer]
from Transfers a
inner join Users b on b.NameID = a.NameIDofPersonWhoDidTransfer
inner join Users c on c.NameID = a.NameIDOfPersonWhoReceivedTransfer
