Help with Query

Hi,
I am trying to perform a query that is beyond my knewlegde and was
after little help,
I have two tables in my db, national and CDR. the National table
displays the codes and location for every std code in the UK, the CDR
table displays the information about calls made from people in my
company.
I am trying to reference both tables so that the result display the
location of the dailled numbers, here is the query I have built using
the query tool in SQL but it does not seem to work. could any tell me
where I am going wrong?
SELECT dbo.IpPbxCDR.OriginationNumber, dbo.[National].Location
FROM dbo.[National] CROSS JOIN
dbo.IpPbxCDR
WHERE (dbo.[National].Digits LIKE
'%dbo.IpPbxCDR.OriginationNumber%')
Many Thanks
IanSELECT dbo.IpPbxCDR.OriginationNumber, dbo.[National].Location
FROM dbo.IpPbxCDR LEFT JOIN dbo.[National]
ON (dbo.[National].Digits LIKE
'%dbo.IpPbxCDR.OriginationNumber%')
OR
SELECT dbo.IpPbxCDR.OriginationNumber, dbo.[National].Location
FROM dbo.IpPbxCDR LEFT JOIN dbo.[National]
ON (dbo.[National].Digits = dbo.IpPbxCDR.OriginationNumber)
Dont know why u used Like as you didnt specify the datatypes and the
condition you required...
Thanks,
Sree

I don't think I gave enough information as this still did not work!
What I am trying is as follows:
IpPbxCDR Table
OriginationNumber StartTime EndTime
9011839222222 03/03/2006 12:01 03/03/2006 12:12
National Table
Digits Location
0118 Reading
Required Output
OriginationNumber Location StartTime End
Time
9011839222222 Reading 03/03/2006 12:01 03/03/2006 12:12
All Times are DateTimes, the locations and Numbers as Nvarchar
Many Thanks

Hi Ian,
Without knowledge of how your tables really look (please post CREATE
TABLE and INSERT statements next time - www.aspfaq.com/5006), I can only
offer a wild guess:
SELECT dbo.IpPbxCDR.OriginationNumber, dbo.[National].Location
FROM dbo.[National]
CROSS JOIN dbo.IpPbxCDR
WHERE dbo.[National].Digits LIKE '%'
+ dbo.IpPbxCDR.OriginationNumber
+ '%'
or (technically the same - just a matter of taste which you pick)
SELECT dbo.IpPbxCDR.OriginationNumber, dbo.[National].Location
FROM dbo.[National]
INNER JOIN dbo.IpPbxCDR
ON dbo.[National].Digits LIKE '%'
+ dbo.IpPbxCDR.OriginationNumber
+ '%'
