[thelist] Same Column Name Different Tables

Hi list,

I've got a about 7 different tables organized like this:

Table_A
--------------------------------------
ProdMediaID		int		Not Null
ProductAuto		int		4
Link1			varchar	128
Title1		varchar	128
Link2			varchar	128
Title2		varchar	128
...

Table_B
--------------------------------------
ProdMediaID		int		Not Null
ProductAuto		int		4
Link1			varchar	128
Title1		varchar	128
Link2			varchar	128
Title2		varchar	128
...

and so on. (In some instances the Link/Title combo goes to 24)

My SQL query is to the tune of:
Recordset1.Source = "SELECT p.productID, p.ProductDescription, Table_A.*,
Table_B.* FROM A_URLS Table_A, B_URLS Table_B WHERE bunch_of_stuff =
other_stuff ORDER BY that"

Now (finally) here's my question..

Can I do this:
<a href="<%=Recordset1.fields.item("Table_A.Link1").value%>" target="_top"
title="<%=Recordset1.fields.item("Table_A.Title1").value%>"><%=Recordset1.fi
elds.item("Table_A.Title1").value%></a>

If I can't, how can I reference or differentiate same column names from
different tables in my ASP code?

For good measures, my LinksX column contains paths, my TitleX column
contains the link title/hyperlink text.
