select account name from a custom object

Hi all,

I have a custom object called "CO" and having a field called "User".
I am able to get Account ID now, but I would like to get Account Name insted.
Would someone let me know if there is a way to get Account Name from CO?

=================================
CO (CO__c)
----
Id
User (User__c) -> Contact
                            ---------
                            Id
                            Company  (Account) -> Account
                                                               ---------
                                                               Id
                                                               Name
=================================

"User"       : Lookup(Contact)
"Company": Lookup (Account)

This is what I have now.
select User__r.AccountId from CO__c where Id = 'xxxxxxx';

Thank you,
HG

Hi Mukesh,

Thank you for the reply.
I have tried that, but I am getting "[object Object]" as the result.

Do you know how to fix it?

Thanks

Hi HG,

Run the below query from dev console, you will get the output in debug. Use similar sytax to fetch the data from list:
  
List<CO__c> lstCo = [Select Id, User__r.Account.Name from CO__c limit 1];
system.debug('Account Name is'+lstCo[0].User__r.Account.Name);

Mark solved if it does help you

Hi Mishra,

Thanks for the query.
But I got an error message "The query has to start with 'FIND' or 'SELECT'".

Should I run it from some where else instead of Query Editor?

Thanks

Hi,
     Run it on Anonymous Window, it works

List<CO__c> lstCo = [Select Id, User__r.Account.Name from CO__c limit 1];
system.debug('Account Name is'+lstCo[0].User__r.Account.Name);
