Thank you for the ideas Fabio.
>>I need to pull a range of records based on the street number. The number field is character. The problem occurs when a letter was entered in the number field as well as in 300A, 3505B, etc. Both of the examples below return the error:
>>
>>Conversion failed when converting the varchar value '3505A ' to data type int.
>>or:
>>Error converting data type varchar to numeric.
>>
>>
>>select * from omain where 1100 < number and 3000 > number
>>select * from omain where cast((number) as decimal(10,0)) > 1000 and cast((number) as decimal(10,0)) < 3000
>>

>>Recommendations?
