Here's a WAG first reaction on my part : I would be curious to know more about the HeadOffideCode colum - data type and contents. (and of course the exact indexes) For example, is there only AAA but might be BBB, BB1, BBB2.
Would this make a difference?
And what would be the difference if he used Where HeadofficeCode like 'BBB%'

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.

Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
