Thanks Joe....It's not case sensitive.... I've tried it about every which way I can try. It's an old SHR:People table on a legacy box that's going away. We're trying to come up with a way to keep the new CTM:People form in sync with the old (50,000 + entries to maintain on both systems). I was hoping this would be a little bit easier then what it is turning out to be!
