Hi Paul, query something like this will work for you..
<Where> <Contains> <FieldRef Name="Title" /> <Value Type="Text">YourString</Value> </Contains> </Where> Additionally, You can also search multiple string in same query using <In>, if you have exact strings. <Where> <In> <FieldRef Name='Title' /> <Values> <Value Type = 'Text'>String1</Value> <Value Type = 'Text'>String2</Value> <Value Type = 'Text'>String3</Value> </Values> </In> </Where> Cheers, From: Ishai Sagi Sent: Wednesday, October 26, 2011 4:09 AM To: ozMOSS Subject: RE: Filter item collection Startswith is something you do on a string, not on a collection. To properly (and efficiently) get items with a certain criteria from a list, you should do a query on the list. The query can then have a “BeginsWith” or “Contains” filter parameter (see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms467521.aspx for all parameters you can specify) so you can get a collection of only the items that answer the filter criteria.

Can I do this using string StartsWith, or should I run an SPQuery against the collection?
