How to rewrite multiple subqueries as one statement

Tags: Microsoft, SQL Server, 2000, T-SQL statement
Hello, I have a query which involves multiple IN statements. I have tried rewriting this with Joins instead but to no avail. Any ideas?

FYI - recno is the equivalent of a table's id field (increment INT) and is the PK in the table while any other field with 'recno' in its title is a FK.
