If you don't want to change the DB design you could try: SELECT * FROM YourTable WHERE YourColumn LIKE '%,#YourVariable#,%' OR YourColumn LIKE '#YourVariable#,%' OR YourColumn LIKE '%,#YourVariable#'
Given a values like: 1,2,3,7,4,5,6 7,1,2,3,4,5,6 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 Looking for 7 it should match all three. Which seems like overkill, but looks like it'd work. Now I'm sure there might be a better way to do this. Personally I'd change the table design. Adrian -----Original Message----- From: Eric J.

Have a field in the database with a comma list of items...and want it to only pull a record based upon a session variable that is a single integer. So how do I say give me records where database field(comma delimited) contains session variable? example: Where table.sites HAS session.variable ....I know has isn't the right term, but this is the english of it. Thanks. -------------------------------------------------------- Eric J.
