All three responses are exactly right. I checked my script and assumed -- and we know what happens when you do that -- that since I had made no specification for case insensitive that it would be case sensitive. It wasn't. I will go see why MYSQL is doing that and make the change there. Thank you every so much. Teaches me to make sure I check all the possibilities before I start pointing a finger in teh wrong direction. Love those features!
