>>Barbara, this syntax did exactly what I needed. Funny- I'm almost positive that that was the first thing I tried... you must have a special SQL touch that I haven't picked up yet :-) Thanks a ton.

Barbara...change of subject to your gaming side...

Find 3, three digit numbers such that the sum of the first two yeilds the third, and all three numbers have the same digits.
For example 213+132=312 (of course it doesnt). There are no tricks, all normal addition rules apply...

Have fun,
