Cetin,

I just checked this against SQL Server using SPT. The table had an identity column with values between 1 and 250. When I used "WHERE IDENTITY_COLUMN BETWEEN 0 AND 0xFFFFFFFF", I got zero records. When I used "WHERE IDENTITY_COLUMN BETWEEN 0 AND 0x7FFFFFFF" I got back all 155 records. Since, of course, I was just passing a string, VFP wasn't involved in the retrieval. Apparently, SQL Server uses signed integers as well. At least it's consistent.:-)
