If I'm understanding you correctly, you could use the following in your
where clause of your sql statement
sql server syntax:
where substring(fieldname,1,1) = 'A'

Subject: Selecting All Categories that start with A..
Hey all,
I got a database that has like 120 categories.
The client wants A-Z along the top, and when A is clicked, only those
categories that start with A will show.
SO I'm trying to use SQL in the query, with a URL variable called Letter
passed when the user clicks the letter nav bar.
I am assuming that I can use a function such as Left() in SQL? Is there
anything like that?
How would I do something like this otherwise?
