Andrew and Rod,
my apologies for not being more clear in my question.
all the code is required to get from t_inspect_result
data back to t_product information.
however, many of the joins are used over and over and
over - making for a complex query to view and try and
to debug - not to mention forcing a long trail of
chasing linked data to get from t_inspect_result_id
back to the linked t_product data.
Thanks for taking the time to address the question -
and i will try and be more clear going forward.
