hi brad well i have first created a structure with the data and then used the structureToQuery function from cflib to convert it to a query. it should not be a date field - it is meant to be a varchar(5). should i do something to ensure that these columns are setup as a varchar so that it knows that this column is not mean to be a date field?
if so how do i go about doing this? thanks for your help richard >What data type is your A1001 column?
