Question : Matching data from multiple tables

Hi guys

I have a database with multiple tables and in this case i am looking at 3 in particuler. named
1. dbo.sendersreference
2. dbo.despatch
3. dbo.despatchitem

in table 1 i am pulling the colum named "SendersReference"
in table 2 i am taking the colums named ItemAddressee, AddressLine1, Postcode, CreatedDate
in table 3 i am taking the colum named "Barcode"

all 3 tables have a colum named "DespatchID" which is colum 1. so the number in the colum pairs to its relative data in the other tables. my question is, how do i create a query that pulls all the relevant data based on a search by ItemAddressee. here is what i have so far

Select ItemAddressee, AddressLine1, Postcode, CreatedDate, Barcode, SendersReference FROM dbo.despatch, dbo.despatchitem, dbo.sendersreference WHERE ItemAddressee Like (''%' + edit1.text + '%'')

the edit box is where i am specifying a partial name within a delphi form

kind regards
steve

Answer : Matching data from multiple tables

check that you do not have an entry in /etc/hosts for your windows pc. if you do, remove the entry.
