Is there a quick and easy way to get the IP numbers to sort like a number? Pad out each octet with 0's. 206.168.47.6 = 206.168.047.006. Create another field in the table used just for sorting if you don't want to modify the original field. These should sort correctly.

RE: IP Sort
Look into CAST() or CONVERT() I think you can do this using the CAST() function. -Adrian -Original Message- From: Lee Surma [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] I have a bunch of IP numbers stored in a VarChar field in SQL7.
