Hi

i have a very simple database in ACCESS : with the following table

member_details : which has fields :

Member_id
Forename
Surname
home_number
mobile_number

i use the following to display results :

<%
strSql = "SELECT * FROM member_details order by " & sort_order
set rsConfig = my_Conn.Execute (strSql)
WHILE NOT rsConfig.EOF
%>
<TR BGCOLOR="<%=v_bgcolor%>">
<TD align="middle" class="boldtable"><a href="select_member.asp?<%=rsConfig("Member_ID")%> "> <%=rsConfig("Member_ID")%> </a></TD>
<TD align="middle"><%=rsConfig("Forename")%></TD>
<TD align="middle"><%=rsConfig("Surname")%></TD>
<TD align="middle"><%=rsConfig("Home_Number")%></TD>
<TD align="middle"><%=rsConfig("Mobile_Number")%></TD>
</TR>
<%
rsConfig.MoveNext
WEND
%>

the above code is cut down : i also have the ability to change the sort order depending on which column header is selected.

i now want to add another table called member_stats which will include

member_id
score
member_game_info.

i want to incorporate these results in the above results table : but for the results to be associated with the correct member_id dependant on the sort order ( i.e forename, surname or member_id ).

obviously this would be easy if i added these fields to my existing member_details table : but i want to know how to do this for the future.

do i have to do a subselect within the WHILE loop for this new table ? or is there a nice neat way of doing this?

thanks in advance
