In this case why not just CAST the integer column to a varchar in the original (from-DB) query? Seems a lot easier than getting MM to add a new function :)

So, you could use QofQ to recard the column to varchar. You could also simply make a duplicate of your ID column when performing your select and cast that as varchar. Or do queryAddColumn and put the data there. On Thu, 10 Feb 2005 12:17:26 -0000, Martin Parry <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I have today posted a feature request on MM's website..
