Andrew, you didn't specify which database platform you're using. Peter's
example will work fine with VFP, but in the off chance you're using
another SQL platform, they typically use the 'IN' or 'NOT IN' clause.
SELECT ... WHERE compno NOT IN ('Comp2','Comp4','Comp99')
HTH.

Hi
I have a table with a column compno which has
Comp1
Comp2
Comp3

I have got a string, tempexclude with 'Comp2,Comp4,Comp99' in it.
How do I get a SELECT to exclude the string values?
select ... where !(compno $ mystring)
