Jeff, >> myMask = 2^1 + 2 ^8 >> SELECT mycolumns >> FROM mytable >> WHERE BigIntColumn & #myMask# = #myMask#
This was exactly what I was doing - irrespective of the CAST to change data types - but it will only select records that have bit 1 AND Bit 8. What I need to do is to select records that contain Bit 1 OR Bit 8. (example values only) Example: Given these values BigIntColumn ================== 1 2 4 8 128 129 256 257 Select ============== 1 = (bit 1) 5 = (bit 1 + bit 3) 128 = (bit 8) 129 = (bit 1 + bit 8 257 = (bit 1 + bit 9) I am so confused :( Best Regards, Dennis Powers UXB Internet - A website design and Hosting Company 690 Wolcott Road P.O.
