Re: sql list syntax
I am doing that.. sort of. I have '#form.city#' like '%des_city%' The #form.city# will have one city name, and the field des_city may have one or many city names in a comma deliimited list. This is executing without an error, but it is not returning any records, where I know the values should match. I don't know if comma delimited lists have to be dealt with or can be dealt with in a special manner.

RE: sql list syntax

I think about the only way to do it is using: LIKE '%#form.name#%' Thus, if your db field contained 'nuts,bolts,nail,gun' and your form field was 'bolts', the record would match. Is that what your are trying to do? - Sean ~ Sean Daniels Manager of Engineering DealStream, Inc.
