Hi,

i was using data from 2 different sources, and joining with join key word, my question is when i want to display the output fields using table key word, if the fields are unique i can just give the field name, if there is a field with same name from both the sources then how should i output the field from only particular source.

You've to rename the common field in the join subsearch (second search). As you'd have already figured out, the join command is slow as sloth, so if you could share your current join search and describe your requirement, we may be able to suggest something more efficient.
