Try putting your subqueries into temporary tables, first, inside a BEGIN ... COMMIT block.  But your subqueries would
producethe negative, i.e., everything except where sitescategory.idsites = ps.idsites.  Then reference these temp
tablesin your query with inner or outer joins as appropriate.  Your new query would not include the ... IN (
<list>) syntax...<br /><br /> Mark<br /><br /> bricklen wrote: <blockquote
