I have the latest cck and views modules setup with the latest drupal 6.

am unable to filter values from node reference cck fields.

this is what I have: contenttypeA, contenttypeB, contenttypeC

B and C are node reference files in A.

I have a view and can filter A and have no problems so far (even when I call show the cck nodereference fields B and C).

But I cannot filter A with an argument fields from B or C.

I have searched drupal for many hours, tinkering here and there and haven't found a solution yet. is it that I don't know how to do it or drupal cannot hack this?

any help or point me in a specific direction will be appreciated

Nodereference fields are one-directional. You cannot use views to do a 'reverse lookup' of the content type A through content type B or C...at least I think that's what you're trying to do.

There are a few modules that deal with this in different ways:

http://drupal.org/project/reverse_node_reference (must have MYSQL 5.1 or higher)
http://drupal.org/project/cnr
http://drupal.org/project/nodereferrer
