I thought the following code would work, but it doesn't. Maybe one of you SQL gurus can help. I have a sql table which has a column for badge number (badgeno) it is of type char() 4 characters. I attempted to run a query from vfp like the following:

select * from employees where cast(badgeno as numeric(10))>0

I get an error message - Connectivity error: [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Error converting data type varchar to numeric

Any ideas?
