That works perfectly Dylan. Thanks. Although in some off-list emails I was told that it would probably not work for Oracle, so lucky for me I use SQL Server.

If you want to use a wildcard as a literal then you put [] around it.

I'm setting up a feed for Remedy so I can pull over logins. The problem is that I need to exclude service and admin accounts from the feed since those logins will never be used in Remedy. The problem is that they are prefixed with things like svc_, s_, etc. The problem is that underscores are wildcards representing one character. So, if I wanted to check for a "s_shawnpierson" account I would first think to do a search for: 'Login Name' LIKE "s_%" The problem is that since both the underscore and the percent signs are wildcards, I am essentially searching for "s%", which returns all logins that start with "s". Any suggestions on how I can get around this?
