Hi Kirk,

Enclose department condition in parenthesis or use IN operator

and (deptid = 1 or deptid = 23)
-- or
and depid IN (1,23)

I think, you can also remove grouping (GROUP BY ct.SpecDescin ).

>I am using a vfp user dialog to build a query string. The user has a list box where they can select multiple departments to use in the query. Then I build the dynamic query. Right now I am pasting it to the clipboard and running it in the query analyser for testing. The problem arises when I select more than one department. If I just select one, I get the desired results (Number of cases by speciality for each month). But if I choose more than one department, it get the following error:
