Hi again, I have been getting a ton of responses to my original question unfortunately none of them quite work. The problem is the Street_Name column is character, and under that column there are 50,000 different line segments some of which are called "1", with no spaces or any other characters. Others include 11, 301, 918, Main, Pine, etc... Basically I need my query to look only at the first character in that column and select it only if it is a "1" and is not followed by any other characters. Not sure if this can be done or not but I appreciate all the help I have been getting, thanks again.

Since your mail reader does not understand this format, some or all of this message may not be legible. Hi All, Is there a way to select only the character "1" (not number)from a string without getting every address with "1" in it? I am using Select from Street_table where InStr(1, Street_name, "1") > 0 This gives me everything with "1" in it, ie. 1,12,15,121,413,531, etc.... How can I just select those with the single character "1" TIA Steve _______________________________________________________________________ List hosting provided by Directions Magazine | www.directionsmag.com | To unsubscribe, send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put "unsubscribe MapInfo-L" in the message body. _______________________________________________________________________ List hosting provided by Directions Magazine | www.directionsmag.com | To unsubscribe, send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put "unsubscribe MapInfo-L" in the message body.
