I have to re-create a table every month with a section of data from the
main table. I suppose this would be an excellent situation to use views
for but being as how MySQL doesn't have view capability yet I'm stuck
with this. It's not a big deal but I just want to make sure that

Thank You so much John and Michael. SHOW TABLES LIKE 'a%' worked like a
charm and was exactly what I was looking for. I guess my searches were
using the wrong keywords. Kind of figures. Some of my searches were
