Hello Cetin,

In this example, I wanted 1 record returned...and SET ANSI of course solved that. I want to have one view that could return one record if both parameters are the same, or a range of records. The BETWEEN is another solution for me to consider. But there is also the need to retrieve all items that start with the same style number (your LIKE example). So I'm probably going to end up with multiple views anyway.

Thanks for the reply,

steve
