  Dear All,

  I have 2 table

  The tab1 table contains the following data

  PrimaryId FormCode Datecreated Recipientid

  1 CHR-1 20/12/2008 A

  2 Issue-2 20/12/2008 A

  3 CHR-3 20/12/2008 A

  4 Sup-1 20/12/2008 A

  5 Sup-2 20/12/2008 A

  the tab2 tab contains the following data

  Id ProfileId FormCodeName Action

  1 CHR CHR,Issue ListCHR

  2 Sup Sup ListSup

  3 ERR ERR ListERR

  i am using the following query to retrive data

  the substring of formcode in the tab1 should match with the comma delimated values of column formnamecode in tab2

  select * from tabl1

  where -AND SubString(Formcode,0,CharIndex('-',Formcode))=tab2.FormNamecode

  I want the output in the following way

  PrimaryId FormCode Datecreated Recipientid profileId

  1 CHR-1 20/12/2008 A CHR

  2 Issue-2 20/12/2008 A Issue

  3 CHR-3 20/12/2008 A CHR

  4 Sup-1 20/12/2008 A Sup

  5 Sup-2 20/12/2008 A Sup

  Is the above query returns this output?

  Please help me to solve this.

  Please read the article at the URL in my signature before you post again. You're post should have looked like the following...

  --===== Setup the test table

  SET DATEFORMAT DMY

  DROP TABLE #Test

  GO

  CREATE TABLE #Test

  (PrimaryId INT, FormCode VARCHAR(10), Datecreated DATETIME, Recipientid CHAR(1))

  INSERT INTO #Test

  (PrimaryId, FormCode, Datecreated, Recipientid)

  SELECT'1','CHR-1','20/12/2008','A' UNION ALL

  SELECT'2','Issue-2','20/12/2008','A' UNION ALL

  SELECT'3','CHR-3','20/12/2008','A' UNION ALL

  SELECT'4','Sup-1','20/12/2008','A' UNION ALL

  SELECT'5','Sup-2','20/12/2008','A'

  ... so that we could concentrate on your problem, like this (no need to join to the other table according to the output you requested.)

  --===== Do the problem

  SELECT *,

  LEFT(FormCode,CHARINDEX('-',FormCode)-1)

  FROM #Test

  RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
  First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
  ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

  Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
