After thinking about some, I think I can ask my question in a clean manner.

How do I convert a Varchar data field into a list? Can someone tell me what I'm doing 
wrong?

I have a query see below where the value (a varchar) of category.category_common is -> 
2,3
I add the ( ) in the query below to convert category.category_common into a list item.
The query below will only locate the first item in category.category_common which is 2

Select content_title, content_category, content_order, content_name1
from content, category
where  category.category_id = 'Intbk'  AND content.content_common IN 
(category.category_common)
Order by content.content_order

*************************************************************************************************************************************

The query below works, when I manually add the list lite (2,3).
