Here is what is happening: where first like '%%' - returns 2820 records where first like '%%' AND last like '%%' - returns 2820 records where first like '%%' AND last like '%%' AND company like '%%' - returns 2752 records. shouldn't it return all 2820 records? As I add additional where clauses with '%%' it gets worse, fewer and fewer records get returned. I have tried #trim(field)# but that did not make any difference. Any ideas would be appreciated? -----Original Message----- From: Douglas L.

If you have that in there it will pull all records with your search criteria and disregard the fact that a field is empty.
