Cannot Parse Query

[fenway]

If you post your entire code one more time, I'm going to lock this thread for good -- just post the relevant code snippet, nothing more. If you feel the urge to include the entire script, use an attachment.

fenway. Here is the solution I came up with. First I take all of te records that meet the criteria and insert them into them into a temp table. Then I do a count of how many times the LcationID appears and compare that against the number options that were selected. Then I run the query with those that equal the number of selected options. See what you think.

You posted that bit of code in the forum as it did not work correctly (no detail id in the options). I gave you an improved version. Now that one is back in there.

 

Why do I get the distinct feeling that our time is being wasted?
