SELECT *; FROM geo!homechk; WHERE ALLTRIM(Homechk.city) IN (?thisform.ccities); ORDER BY Homechk.city, Homechk.lastname, Homechk.firstnameOnly those records matching the first City are selected. I have tried this in the View designer and get the same results. Typing in a list of the cities works fine but as soon as you specify a parameter - no matter how you type in the list when it asks - it only matches to the first city in the list. What am I missing. TIA
