Trying to make this work on VFP tables accessed via odbc:
TEXT TO mystring NOSHOW TEXTMERGE
SELECT * FROM tbl_main WHERE CAST(LEFT(Number, PATINDEX('%[-, /\@#$%^!&*()+A-Z]%', Number + 'A')-1) AS int) = 111 AND street = 'JONES' AND st_type = 'RD'
ENDTEXTThe exact same syntax works in SQL2000/SQL2005 but not when the backend is VFP tables accessed via odbc.
