Don't be disturbed with CF, bet disturbed with the query. ;) You're AND-ing your NULL/blank string checks together instead of OR-ing them. Try switching and see what happens with your query results. Also, you should just be able to do: SELECT emailaddress FROM myTable WHERE emailaddress IS NOT NULL OR TRIM(emailaddress) != '' That should cover all instances of blank or NULL e-mail fields. I don't know if there's a TRIM() function in SQL Server, so you may have to do LTRIM(RTRIM(emailaddress)) to get the same effect (I'm on Oracle, so I just don't know that answer).
