Hi,

I wanted to thank everyone for chipping in on this one...
you gave me some good ideas and eventually solved
my problem, first I what I needed was a form precursor to
the '#search_string#' because it was a form...secondly
swapping out the = for a LIKE and a coupla % signs did the
trick in the WHERE statement.  So yippee....!!!!  THank you.

><CFQUERY Name="knowledge" DataSource="ccmast">
>select id, entered_date, synopsis, knowledge
>from nxsknow
>where knowledge = '#search_string#'
>order by entered_date desc
></CFQUERY>

I dont know where or how the synopsis column crept into this thread
except when I introduced it as alternative to search on....but the column
I really need to search on is the knowlede column.  Synopsis is next
to useless....right now it produces a result thanks to the suggestions of
you folks and that is what I need - results.  however when this baby goes
live in another month...I need to be able to search the knowledge column
yet each and everytime that I do...no matter what language I put
after the WHERE knowledge ...  I get the following error:

>>  [microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]TEXT and IMAGE datatypes
>>  may not be used in the WHERE or HAVING clause, except with the LIKE
>>  predicate and the IS NULL predicate.

This is a SQL 6.5 database.  The column is a TEXT column.  If that means
anything to anyone.  There is no upper limit to the text on this column...

Why am I getting this error ?
