Javier, OK, I'm a convert. Now, what is the best approach to switching to single quotes?

The reason is that if you want to have true ODBC compatibility these are the standard settings. My application will need to be interfaced with a Geographic Information System (GIS) and this is what other ODBC compliant software use. This may also be a requirement for Tango.

But I still needed to set eqnull on. There was a big discussion on eqnull a while back but I never found a need for it til now. Will 7.0 ignore double quotes? or why did u suggest I start using single quotes. I've got a lot of legacy systems out there and I just kept sticking with dubl. Also, I hate using % and _ -- it just looks strange to me. Give me good ol * and ? It's hard teaching an old dog new tricks.

P.S. sure wish I had a copy of 7.0 but I can't afford the time and cost to go to Pitt again. (stock market is in the pits -- I even had to settle for Buick when I really wanted the CTS) ================================================ TO SEE MESSAGE POSTING GUIDELINES: Send a plain text email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the message body, put just two words: INTRO rbase-l ================================================ TO UNSUBSCRIBE: send a plain text email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the message body, put just two words: UNSUBSCRIBE rbase-l ================================================ TO SEARCH ARCHIVES: http://www.mail-archive.com/rbase-l%40sonetmail.com/ ================================================ TO SEE MESSAGE POSTING GUIDELINES: Send a plain text email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the message body, put just two words: INTRO rbase-l ================================================ TO UNSUBSCRIBE: send a plain text email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the message body, put just two words: UNSUBSCRIBE rbase-l ================================================ TO SEARCH ARCHIVES: http://www.mail-archive.com/rbase-l%40sonetmail.com/ ================================================ TO SEE MESSAGE POSTING GUIDELINES: Send a plain text email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the message body, put just two words: INTRO rbase-l ================================================ TO UNSUBSCRIBE: send a plain text email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the message body, put just two words: UNSUBSCRIBE rbase-l ================================================ TO SEARCH ARCHIVES: http://www.mail-archive.com/rbase-l%40sonetmail.com/
