ok... Question - there are two ways to filter out records.

1. select...into cursor, then use that cursor for you filter.
2. set filter on some records.

I am picking the first way for now..my "where" clause is a string
I built from a user's "search criteria" off of a form. Now I want to fire off the select and get my new cursor with the records I want to display.
My questions is:
Will the "where" clause search for upper and/or lower case if I only specify in my "where" clause, the field content, which could be upper or lower? If so, how? If I am wrong about "1 and 2" let me know...
