Ha... one more question I'm guessing the answer is "no".. but is there any
way to know which file the record from the result set came from if it was a
union? :)

Use constants:

SELECT 'FILENAME1', FILE1FLD1, FILE1FLD2 from FILENAME1
UNION ALL
SELECT 'FILENAME2', FILE2FLD1, FILE2FLD2 from FILENAME2
