You can use VFP SQL syntax - '45'$cname or you can use ANSI SQL syntax - cname 
like '%45%'. Note that you need the % wild card on both sides of the substring 
you're looking for.

Subject: Re: SQL Select and $ operator

Just to clarify if mytable contains a record with a value of '12345678' in
the cname field and i'm looking for '45'

the select statement would be
select iid, cname from mytable where cname like '&45' it will return the
record described above?

i.e. any record with '45' in the cname field...  strings like '45678',
'9456'.

Thanks
Mike
