I am not a SQL guru so this may be way off. select accountkey from companies where left(accountno,6) = '000000' And accountno LIKE '%#searchString#%'
You would have to count the leading zeros everytime though and adjust accordingly Which wouldn't be much fun. -----Original Message----- From: Scott Mulholland [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, December 06, 2004 6:11 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: sql LIKE question Is there any way to force LIKE to match on leading zeros? If I have a query along the lines of: select accountkey from companies where accountno LIKE '%#searchString#%' and I search with a string of: 00000059 I am getting results like: 05976574 12343459 59748311 It treats it as if I entered "59" in the search string.
