I have two queries that find both the Zip codes, and the States for all the respondents in our database. Here they are

For ZIP code:

select top 100  S.ID as SurveyID, S.SID, S.SurveyNumber, S.ABCSurveyName, SE.RespondentID, Q.name as QuestionName, rp.Condition as ZipCode
from Surveys S 
    join Sessions SE 
        on S.id = SE.SurveyID 
    join RespondentProfiles rp
        on RP.RespondentID = SE.RespondentID
    join Questions Q 
        on Q.ID = rp.QuestionID
where q.name = 'ZIP'
        and S.ID = 13900
        and Q.LK_RecordStatusID = 1

For state:

select VW.ID as SurveyID, VW.SID, SurveyNumber, ABCSurveyName, RespondentID, VW.Name as QuestionName, st.Code as State
from (
    select top 100 S.ID, S.SID, S.SurveyNumber, S.ABCSurveyName, SE.RespondentID, Q.name, rp.Condition 
    from Surveys S 
        join Sessions SE 
            on S.id = SE.SurveyID 
        join RespondentProfiles rp
            on RP.RespondentID = SE.RespondentID
        join Questions Q 
            on Q.ID = rp.QuestionID
    where S.ID = 13900
            and q.name = 'STATE'
            and Q.LK_RecordStatusID = 1

) VW
    join LK_States st
        on st.ID = vw.Condition

This works, but I’d like to have them all in one table, i.e. Zip Code and State.

Thanks!

    Well, I did not take time to remove unnecessary selected fields but here is an ugly query that should get pretty close. Essentially your ‘State’ query was recasting most of the joins as a sub query anyway:

    SELECT ... FROM
(SELECT ... FROM ... JOIN ... JOIN ... WHERE Q.Name = 'State') VW
JOIN LK_States ...

    All I did was add an extra sub-query to join on at the top level. I think there may be a more efficient query but since it is a SELECT TOP 100, I’m not sure performance will be an issue.

    SELECT ... FROM
(SELECT ... FROM ... JOIN ... JOIN ... WHERE Q.Name = 'State') VW
JOIN
(SELECT ... FROM ... JOIN ... JOIN ... WHERE Q.Name = 'Zip') VW2
ON VW2.SurveyID = VW.SurveyID
JOIN LK_States ...

    Not checked for errors but here is the entire monster:

    select VW.SurveyID as SurveyID, VW.SID, VW.SurveyNumber, VW.FEDSurveyName, VW.RespondentID, VW.Name as QuestionName, st.Code as State, VW2.Condition as ZipCode
from (
    select top 100 S.ID as SurveyID, S.SID, S.SurveyNumber, S.FEDSurveyName, SE.RespondentID, Q.name, rp.Condition 
    from Surveys S 
        join Sessions SE 
            on S.id = SE.SurveyID 
        join RespondentProfiles rp
            on RP.RespondentID = SE.RespondentID
        join Questions Q 
            on Q.ID = rp.QuestionID
    where S.ID = 13900
            and q.name = 'STATE'
            and Q.LK_RecordStatusID = 1

    ) VW
    join (
    select top 100  S.ID as SurveyID, S.SID, S.SurveyNumber, S.FEDSurveyName, SE.RespondentID, Q.name, rp.Condition
    from Surveys S 
        join Sessions SE 
            on S.id = SE.SurveyID 
        join RespondentProfiles rp
            on RP.RespondentID = SE.RespondentID
        join Questions Q 
            on Q.ID = rp.QuestionID
    where q.name = 'ZIP'
            and S.ID = 13900
            and Q.LK_RecordStatusID = 1
    ) VW2
        on VW2.SurveyID = VW.SurveyID
    join LK_States st
        on st.ID = vw.Condition
