Hi Robin
Instead of using sql to change the case of the search criteria try using php
as in the statement below
$query="
SELECT *
FROM [Organisation Membership]
WHERE lower(organisation) LIKE '%". strtolower($SearchBox) ."%')";
Hope this is of some help to you
Tony James

If only it were that simple - sorry, that was a copying error...
It gives the error " undefined function: lower"
