Is this in SQL server? It seems we don't have enough of the code to be able to tell the problem. The query has to be put in a string and SearchBox has to exist, and this all has to be run from a query function, and .... well, if you actually show your php code it would help quite a bit. :-)

I haven't tested it but SQL probably works like PHP in that single quotes denote exact values while double quotes allows evaluation of the quoted string. -Kevin "Robin S McKenzie" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message [EMAIL PROTECTED]">news:[EMAIL PROTECTED]... > > I'm trying perform a case-insensitive test for a name.
