Gary, 

 I may be misunderstanding your intention, however the where clause : 



WHERE lname LIKE '%' 



Is bascially the same as : 



WHERE lname IS NOT NULL 



If you want to return all rows in the table regardless of the LNAME column, 
simply 



EDIT USING FORM1  

(With no where clause) 



However, if your example was a more simple example of your actual code, then 
this 

may not work.  You would need to be more specific on why and how your are using 

the LIKE '%'.

Subject: [RBASE-L] - Where Question 


Hello All, 
I am running into a issue that I haven't had before and I am out of ideals, I 
am hoping someone could help me see what I am sure is right in front of me. 
Here is a where clause I am using: 

EDIT USING form1 WHERE lname LIKE '%' 

If there is a row where the lname column is empty this where clause will skip 
it.  I have tried CONTAIN and it behaves the same.  Is there a way to make the 
where clause return all the rows even the ones that have no data in the lname 
column? 

Thanks 
Gary Randall
