Steve,
        Either of these SQL queries should work.

select * from theTable where left$(theCol,2) =
any("A0","A1","A2","A3","A4","A5","A6,"A7","A8","A9") into SelTab

or 

select * from theTable where left$(theCol,1) = "A" and mid$(theCol,2,1) =
any("0","1","2","3","4","5","6,"7","8","9") into SelTab

Simply substitute theTable and theCol with the appropriate table and column
names.

What is the correct syntax for selecting all rows in a table where the first
letter is A followed by a number?

For example I want to select all the rows where the ID range of a column is
A - A12.

Thanks for your help
