I *do* know that there is a matching record, there are database constrains =
that make it sure. The sql code, anyway, is just a sample for the problem, a=
nd the problem is: how can I reference *that* field (that comes from the sub=
select)? If I can read it, if I have it's name displayed in the result set, =
if it seems to be a "regular" field, why can't I select it's value? I know t=
hat a join does the trick, but is this behaviour correct, or it's a bug?
