HELP with a Select/Union statement

I have 3 tables One table is the order Table, Bill to table and ship to table
I have to Views created as followed

This query uses the Ship to table to pull the ship to information to the shipping system.
SELECT Cust_address.NAME, Cust_address.ADDR_1, Cust_address.ADDR_2, Cust_address.ADDR_3, Cust_address.CITY, Cust_address.STATE, Cust_address.ZIPCODE, Cust_address.COUNTRY, Cust_address.SHIP_VIA, customer_order.ID
FROM Cust_address INNER JOIN customer_order ON (Cust_address.CUSTOMER_ID = customer_order.CUSTOMER_ID) AND (Cust_address.ADDR_NO = customer_order.SHIP_TO_ADDR_NO);

This query uss the Bill to as the ship to inforamtion
SELECT CUSTOMER.ID, CUSTOMER.SHIPTO_ID, CUSTOMER.NAME, CUSTOMER.ADDR_1, CUSTOMER.ADDR_2, CUSTOMER.ADDR_3, CUSTOMER.CITY, CUSTOMER.STATE, CUSTOMER.ZIPCODE, CUSTOMER.COUNTRY, CUSTOMER.SHIP_VIA, customer_order.ID, customer_order.SHIP_TO_ADDR_NO
FROM CUSTOMER INNER JOIN customer_order ON CUSTOMER.ID = customer_order.CUSTOMER_ID;

I need this infroamtion in one table which I have done in the UNION statement as followed:
SELECT Cust_address.NAME, Cust_address.ADDR_1, Cust_address.ADDR_2, Cust_address.ADDR_3, Cust_address.CITY, Cust_address.STATE, Cust_address.ZIPCODE, Cust_address.COUNTRY, Cust_address.SHIP_VIA, customer_order.ID
FROM Cust_address INNER JOIN customer_order ON (Cust_address.CUSTOMER_ID = customer_order.CUSTOMER_ID) AND (Cust_address.ADDR_NO = customer_order.SHIP_TO_ADDR_NO)
UNION ALL
SELECT CUSTOMER.NAME, CUSTOMER.ADDR_1, CUSTOMER.ADDR_2, CUSTOMER.ADDR_3, CUSTOMER.CITY, CUSTOMER.STATE, CUSTOMER.ZIPCODE, CUSTOMER.COUNTRY, CUSTOMER.SHIP_VIA, customer_order.ID
FROM CUSTOMER INNER JOIN customer_order ON CUSTOMER.ID=customer_order.CUSTOMER_ID;

Here is the problem when I pull information out of the ship to table I get 2 results as followed My key field to pull this information is the Last field Custoemr ID this custoemr ID exist in both tables but contains different information I want to ONLY pull in the info that I need in this case it would be the first line that is the Correct shipping information.

NAME ADDR_1 ADDR_2 ADDR_3 CITY STATE ZIPCODE COUNTRY SHIP_VIA ID
DIEBOLD INC (4076A) ATTN: RANCE AARON 343 MANOR DR PACIFICA CA 94044 18932
DIEBOLD, INC OH UPS #88X08X 18932

MY POINT: Is there a way to select a over all DISTINCT order ID.

Thank you for any help hope this make sense!...I want to ONLY pull in the info that I need in this case it would be the first line that is the Correct shipping information.Define what you mean by "first line". The order of data in a database has no meaning. Do you have a date field or some other value you can sort on to determine which shipping information is "first"?|||Sorry
In the Union query the first select statement will Always be the correct shipping information when the ORDER form has one(Shipping info) if it does not have a Shipping address printed on the form then the second select statement will pull from the bill table which will only have one record per the order number.

Example Order form:
Bill-to Ship to information
Bill to Compnay Ship to company
Bill to address Ship to address
Bill to city Ship to City
Bill to State Ship to state
Etc Etc

When this order occurs then there is one record in the bill to table with that info and 1 record in the Ship to table with the shipping info This is where the problme occurs when I do the UNION it looks in the Shipping table first and pulls the shipping info and then the other statement in the UNION pulls the BILL to info which give me 2 records in the Query so what happends in this case I pull the info using ODBC to my shipping system and it says it found 2 records but I only what the First select statement to show. Another problem is when the ship to is not fill out I need to use the second part of the UNION select statement in order ot pull the bill to info for the shipping info but this works correctly due to only 1 order number exists in the bill to tableEX:

Example Order form:
Bill-to Ship to information
Bill to Compnay SAME
Bill to address
Bill to city
Bill to State
Etc
When this occurs then I need to use the Bill to table for the shipping info.

Hopfully this clears things up.|||So this query:SELECT Cust_address.NAME,
Cust_address.ADDR_1,
Cust_address.ADDR_2,
Cust_address.ADDR_3,
Cust_address.CITY,
Cust_address.STATE,
Cust_address.ZIPCODE,
Cust_address.COUNTRY,
Cust_address.SHIP_VIA,
customer_order.ID
FROM Cust_address
INNER JOIN customer_order
ON Cust_address.CUSTOMER_ID = customer_order.CUSTOMER_ID
AND Cust_address.ADDR_NO = customer_order.SHIP_TO_ADDR_NO...contains all the orders that you need, but in some cases the address information is missing and you want to pull address information from the CUSTOMER table to fill it in?|||Yes Sir that is correct!
