Terry writes "Hi,

I hope you can help. I would like to find out how to write a stored procedure that would return a result similiar to a union queries.

Here is the problem:

TableName: tblJob

Record 1: JobID = 1
FileNo = 1000
PreviousJobID = 2

Record 2: JobID = 2
FileNo = 2000
PreviousJobID = Null

I can return my desired result set with a union join to produce the following:

JobID FileNo PreviousJobID
1 1000 2
2 2000 Null

Basically I start at Record 1, and want to get the next JobID
that = my Record1.PreviousJobID and keep going until PreviousJobID = null.

I'm not sure how to write a union join in a stored procedure. I can provide Record1 with the JobID but I then want to output the rest of the JobID's that the procedure retrieves.

Can you help or have any suggestions? I am using Access97 as the front end, SQL Server 7 as the back end, on an NT4 machine.

Thanks

Terry"
