>Gilles, I think it's a VFP bug. I tried to use a parameterized statement like you did from the view designer and selected the IGNORE CASE button in the filter tab and got the same error you did. A quick fix is to put an ALLTRIM() around the field and parameterized variable and select the IGNORE CASE button. Example below works. Good Luck. :-)

I've found a strange solution... If I do :

SELECT * ;
FROM club!members ;
WHERE UPPER(members.cname) LIKE UPPER(?vp_cname)

and my database members has an index on UPPER(cname) named CNAME it doesn't work....

If I delete this index everything works again... Strange isn't it ??
