make sure when you put values in the "seeking" column to add a comma before and after the list. So a list of "1,2,3" becomes ",1,2,3,"
That way when you run the query you can say: WHERE seeking LIKE '%,2,%' +-----------------------------------------------+ Bryan Love Macromedia Certified Professional Internet Application Developer Database Analyst TeleCommunication Systems [EMAIL PROTECTED] +-----------------------------------------------+ "...'If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace'..." - Thomas Paine, The American Crisis "Let's Roll" - Todd Beamer, Flight 93 -----Original Message----- From: Double Down, Inc. [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, December 10, 2002 1:05 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Query Question I have this statement in a query: (<cfloop index="ii" list="#form.seeking#" delimiters=",">seeking LIKE '%#ii#make %'<cfif NOT listlast(form.seeking, ",") is ii> and </cfif></cfloop> It will select the record if the field (a comma delimitated list) has the value (the values are number). The problem I am having is that if I want to pull the records that contain the number 2, it is giving me the records that contain 2, 22, 23, etc. etc. How do I set this up so it will pull ONLY the records that have the number 2 in it?
