Thanks so much Brent, this is what I was looking for.
However, what do I do when I get to 'Z'?
I looked here, and now I am really confused:
http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Comparison_Operators.html
It seems to say that BETWEEN returns a rowcount as well?
I am guessing that these all return records...
So, what should I use, RLIKE, BETWEEN or???
Thanks, --Scott

SELECT * FROM sometable WHERE surname BETWEEN 'A' AND 'D' ORDER BY surname
In my quick test the first parameter is inclusive while the second is not, which is why it is D and not C.
