but it does. There is a way to do it in a stored proc but I don't
remember off the top of my head.

Eric,
I recently ran into this same problem recently. The correct way to do
this is:
AND valuedesc LIKE '%'[EMAIL PROTECTED]'%'[EMAIL PROTECTED]'%'
You need to put the "+" signs in and remember to put the single quotes
properly. Whenever you use variables, you have to build the statement
as a string.
Hope this helps,
Ali
