I would like to pull data from the same field with different criteria into two columns, not rows.

I have this select:
SELECT memid, memamount
FROM memories
WHERE memname = 'FYCt'
AND memamount > '3'
UNION

SELECT memid, memamount
FROM memories
WHERE memname = 'CFYT'
ORDER BY memid

Which gives me data that looks like this:
memid memamount
0000000072 6.00
0000000072 1300.00
0000000097 6.00
0000000097 200.00
0000000393 25.00
0000000539 100.00
0000000550 150.00
0000000550 500.00
0000000582 100.00
0000000590 30.00

Is there a way to have two columns: FYCt and CFYT with the data per record? Like this:
memid FYCt CFYT
72 6 1300
97 6 200
393 25
539 100
550 150 500
582 100
590 30

I appreciate any help! Thanks.

[code]

SELECT m1.memid, m2.memamount, m3.memamount
FROM (SELECT DISTINCT memid FROM memories WHERE memname IN ('CFYT', 'FYCt')
LEFT JOIN memories m2
ON m1.memid = m2.memid
LEFT JOIN memories m3
ON m1.memid = m3.memid
WHERE m2.memname = 'FYCt'
AND m2.memamount > '3'
AND m3.memname = 'CFYT'

[/code]

I get an Incorrect sytnax near the keyword 'LEFT' error. I added a closed parens at the end of the select statement, but that didn't help. I'm continuing to ponder what you sent to see if I can figure out what's wrong with the syntax. THANKS!

D'oh


	SELECT m1.memid, m2.memamount, m3.memamount
	  FROM (SELECT DISTINCT memid FROM memories WHERE memname IN ('CFYT', 'FYCt') AS m1
 LEFT JOIN memories m2
		ON m1.memid = m2.memid
 LEFT JOIN memories m3
		ON m1.memid = m3.memid
	 WHERE m2.memname = 'FYCt'
	   AND m2.memamount > '3'
	   AND m3.memname = 'CFYT'
