Hello Kjarten,

You're on the right track. Any whole number "mod 2" will be 0 for even
numbers and 1 for odd. So, to select all the odd values from a table, use
the SQL Query window and use the following in the where clause box:

YourField mod 2 = 0

or for odd,

YourField mod 2 = 1

With a packed table (ie. no deleted records), you can use "rowid" for this.
This allows you to query every other record starting at the beginning of a
table (record 1) or record number 2.
