Cathy,

You can use < pre> < /pre> tags (w/o spaces) to preserve code formatting, include HTML/XML tags, e.t.c.

>SELECT x, ;

>Just use the original table with one field and put two field objects on the report. For the first object, use Field1 as the expression, and use LEN(ALLTRIM(field1)) (less than sign) 30 as the Print When logic. For the second object, use Field1 as the expression, and use LEN(ALLTRIM(field1))(greater than or equal to sign) 30 as the Print When logic.
