>I am trying to create a view to take a variable that is filled with a search string and query that against a SQL table that will partially match the SQL table field. I can find the records of the search string matches the whole table field but if only a part of the search string is found in the record it returns nothing...Can anyone help here? Thanks again!

If I understand correctly your problem may be one or both of the following
1) Try SET EXACT OFF
2) In your SELECT statement make sure that you have field=trim(variable)
The point being ensuring that variable is on the right side ot the "="

Hope this helps (HTH) //:^)
