I have a problem that is beyond my current knowledge.

I am trying to create a query similar to the following

"Select field1, field2, (Select field3 from table1 where field3 = field2) From table2 where field 1 = value"

I know this won't work because the subquery is done before the main query so It can't compare to a field in the main query. Is there a way to accomplish this. I hope this makes sense, thanks for any help.
