Hi All,

I need to select data from one table on the basis of other table.

The first table has the required fields and reportid.

This reportid(same as first table), and username, current date fields are present in second table.

Now first i need to check if data is present in second table against that reportid in today's date and then if it is present, select data from first table.

I am really confused.

Please help me in this!

Thanks in Advance.

Try this.

VB

SELECT FT.* FROM firsttable FT INNER JOIN secondtable ST ON FT.reportid = ST.reportid AND date = 'date here'

5 for effort. I was thinking i'll just let him know that there is something called join.
