Hi.
I'm trying but not getting correct results.

I have two tables
one with app, msg, time
(varchar,datetime,varchar)

app1 start 2006-04-03 13:33:36.000
app1 stuff 2006-04-03 13:33:36.000
app1 end 2006-04-03 13:33:36.000
app1 start 2006-04-03 13:33:36.000
app2 start 2006-04-03 13:33:36.000
app2 stuff 2006-04-03 13:33:36.000
app2 end 2006-04-03 13:33:36.000
app2 start 2006-04-03 13:33:36.000
app3 start 2006-04-03 13:33:36.000
app2 end 2006-04-03 13:33:36.000
app2 start 2006-04-03 13:33:36.000
app2 end 2006-04-03 13:33:36.000
app2 start 2006-04-03 13:33:36.000
app2 end 2006-04-03 13:33:36.000
app3 end 2006-04-03 13:33:36.000
app1 end 2006-04-03 13:33:36.000

and another with dr watson crash info
(varchar, datetime)
app1 2006-04-03 13:33:36.000
app2 2006-04-03 13:33:36.000
app1 2006-04-03 13:33:36.000
app1 2006-04-03 13:33:36.000
app3 2006-04-03 13:33:36.000


I'm trying to make a query that will allow
me to see what entries in the first table
occurred wtihin, say, a minute, or maybe 40
seconds of any of the entries in the second
table.

I want all the entries in the second table to
be present, so I know it has to be some sort
of join, probably an outer join.

my syntax is giving me bad results, probably
because I'm just out of practice.

can someone tell me how to put a query together
so I see the data I'm looking for?
Thanks
Jeff
