SQL syntax- two tables, Join?

[scudsucker]

Hi-
I have two tables in a db on a SQL server. Lets name them tblCompanies and tblDirectors.

The structure can be simplified to

tblCompanies: intCompanyID (int IDENTITY) and vchCompanyName (varChar)

and

tblDirectors: intDirectorID (int IDENTITY) and intCompanyID (int) and vchDirectorName (varchar)

How do I write a SQL statement that will return a list of the companies, and only the first DirectorName that has a corresponding companyID?

I'm curently using this:

SELECT DISTINCT 
tblCompanies.intCompanyID, tblCompanies.vchCompanyName,
tblDirectors.intDirectorID, tblDirectors.vchDirectorName, 
FROM tblCompanies, tblDirectors
WHERE 	
tblCompanies.intCompanyID=tblDirectors.intDirectorID

But if, say, there are 3 directors per company, the recordset repeats the company ID and name 3 times each.

Any suggestions? Ive tried INNER and OUTER, LEFT and RIGHT JOINS, but cannot get the required result.
