>>My example was just an illustration. I've come across a problem that I'm STILL trying to resolve. Ideally what I'd like is to be able to use the IN clause just as you've stated. However, my values are unknown at design time. Actually this list is to be populated from a multi-select listbox.

If I tried INLIST previously I couldn't get it to work then. Just tried it again, building my view with the view designer including an INLIST clause for my field in question and it works GREAT!

Thanks bunches, Kim
