Vernon, Don't know if I get it right, but:
SELECT DISTINCT uname, file FROM useronline should do that. I mean, if you have something like: uname file a f1 a f2 a f1 a f2 b f1 b f2 b f1 the query should deliver: uname file a f1 a f2 b f1 b f2 Is that what you're looking for? -- Un gran saludo/Big regards...
