Hehe, this is almost identical to the post I submitted yesterday, entitled "SELECT 'foobar' = 0"
There's a patch in that post, doesn't work for dates but should give an idea of what has to be done. The reason is that 'WWW' has to be converted to a date. And the conversion gives it a value of 0. So you're comparing 0 and 0, which results in 'true'. Anyway, that's why it happens :). Adam Hooper [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Tue, 28 May 2002 11:07:08 -0600 "I.
