kicken Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Probably your SELECT query is returning duplicates. We can't answer why to that without knowing more about each of the tables and the data contained within them. A quick fix might be to just change it from SELECT to SELECT DISTINCT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
web_craftsman Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 Try to change your second INNER JOIN to LEFT JOIN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
