I tried your query but it returned a zero result. I then modified it so that the select had states.short_name instead of users.state, but that didn't help. Also there is a parens after 'users.state'. I wasn't sure, so I tried it without and with an open parens at states.stid =.

basically, within the users table, the users.state is a number that corresponds with states.stid. so SELECT short_name FROM states WHERE stid = '5' will result in 'CA'. I'm trying to get that 'CA' in the query I'm trying, instead of the '5'.

Thanks!
