Subject: Re: SELETCT IN (LISTOFSTRINGS)
When you have a singel value, the IN looks like this:
In ('value')
When you have multiple values, it looks like this:
In ('value1,value2,value3')
What you want is to use the ListQualify() function to set each element in the list to be within single quotes (like so)
In ('value1','value2','value3')
To do this, use the function like so:
In (#ListQualify(userlist, "'", ",","all")#
This says to take the list userlist and place a single quote before and after each list item where a comma is the list delimiter.
If the list will also contain numbers, use the 'char' rather than the 'all' modifier.
