Set, Hans,
Thankyou very much, You've got me sorted.

A note for others who have never used unions before...
The results sets returned be the two selects in the union must be of
the same datatype(s).
So for example, the query presented below needs a cast around the fixed
strings to make them the same data type
ie: cast('staff' as varchar(7)) and in the second select:
cast('contact' as varchar(7)).

Regards,
Neil.

Neil,
as Hans wrote, use a union. Also, remove RIGHT from your queries unless
you
have only shown us a subset of your queries. You want an inner join and

using RIGHT (or LEFT) changes it to an outer join.

>select staff.staffid as id, staff.lastname as name, 'staff' as
>recordtype
>from staff join liststaff on staff.staffid = liststaff.staffid
>where liststaff.ListID = :ListID
>union
>select contact.contactid as id, contact.lastname as name, 'contact'

as

>recordtype
>from contact join listcontacts on contact.contactid =
>listcontacts.contactid
>where listcontacts.ListID = :ListID
>order by 2

HTH,

Set
