>Dear Michael,

>Thank you for your response. However I am afraid the command may not be able to return the correct record since the following customer will not satisfy the WHERE condition of the SQL even if it is actually the alphabetical next.
>CustID=73, LastName='Barret', FirstName='Amy'

>>Since you can have duplication with both the first and last name, can you include the custID as part of the sequencing:

>>SELECT TOP 1 *
>>FROM yourTable
>>WHERE LastName >= @lastName
>> AND FirstName >= @firstName
>> AND custID > @custID

>>>The customer table of my SQL server database contains the following 3 column. There may be more than one customer having exactly the same last and first names while CustID is unique:
>>>CustID, LastName, FirstName
>>>
>>>Data currently showing in my "Customer Data" form are
>>>CustID=671
>>>LastName='Barnes'
>>>FirstName='John'

>>>What is the best SQL command to get the CustID of next (alphabetic order) customer?

>>>Grateful if anybody can help.
