I could be reading it wrong, but it looks like you're looking for the result of your REGEXP in a list. REGEXP returns only a 0 or 1, not the expression resulting from performing a REGEXP.

Hi,
select * from ytbl_development as t1
where (t1.txtDevPostCode REGEXP "^[[:alpha:]]{1,2}[[:digit:]]{1,2}[[:alpha:]]{0,1}" in
#QuotedValueList(qryRadius.shortpostcode)#)
The above Where clause doesn't work , it just seems you can't use REGEXP this way
qryRadius.shortpostcode contains a list of "short" postcodes OX14 1,OX14 2 etc
whereas t1.postcode contains full postcodes OX14 5RA
(If qryRadius.shortpostcode wasn't a list I'd be able to use LIKE)
How can I write a Where clause that gets round this
Shawn,
Your solution doesn't work unfortunately because I need to operate on t1.postcode before making the comparison (IT'S USUALLY the OTHER WAY ROUND) , I think this must be a generic problem, so I think an eventual solution will be interesting
