Thanks Mike for responding.  I agree the flexibility approach is probably
best.

Thanks, Mark

Subject: RE: Returning query results based on number

Hi Mark,

I have a similar setup to yours and for numbers I use 0-9. So I list out the
alphabet A-Z then 0-9.
A year or so ago it was A-Z, "other", and "all". The numbers fell into the
"other" category but since we have more and more entries where the number is
the first character to appear in the referenced column, we decided to add
0-9 to the A-Z listing.

I would make it as flexible as possible.. a few more links should not
degrade the look by much, if at all.

Mike

Subject: Returning query results based on number

Hi All,

I have an alphabet list A thru Z which a user can click each letter and
retrieve all company names based on their first letter.  Works OK, as
follows:

<a href="" B</a>

<cfquery name="q_product" datasource=#REQUEST.dsn1#>
SELECT pl_companies.*, LEFT(pl_companies.co_name,1) AS Alpha1
FROM pl_companies
WHERE co_Name LIKE '[#url.alpha1#]%'
ORDER BY co_name
</cfquery>

However, I have some company names that begin with a number, such as 3M
Company.
How would I create a similar scenario for numbers, rather than letters?
Do I have to create a link for each number 0 thru 9 or can I search just for
any number?

Thanks, Mark
