Well that didn't work as I expected. I probably should have tested it
before posting. The second query doesn't seem to like the row item
$company. Even when I tried hard coding a value just to see what the
output would be, the results I got were weird. The original query rows
each got returned for the number of rows in the original query, 15 x
15.
Anyway, I did base this off of something I had read. But I'm really
stuck now and need help.
