Hey, Kevin,

First, I agree with Bonnie. Since this is an entirely different question, it really should be a different thread.

Bonnie gave you a solution that works, and John is right-on about avoiding a solution that's prone to SQL injection.

There's another solution you might want to look at. I don't know if this will satisfy your needs, but...when you have several possible parameters, but only a few may be used at any one time, you can use the COALESCE function in T-SQL. For example...
PARAMETERS @cFirstName Char(20), @cLastName Char(20), @cAddress char(30), @cCity char(30)

SELECT * FROM Customers WHERE FirstName = COALESCE(@cFirstName,Firstname) AND
				LastName = COALESCE(@cLastName,Lastname) AND
				Address = COALESCE(@cAddress,Address) AND
				cITY = COALESCE(@cCity,City)
COALESCE returns the first non-null expression. So if you want to do a lookup based on City and LastName, just pass
NULL as a parameter for @cFirstName and @cAddress - and the query will (essentially) be FirstName = FirstName
and Address = Address, in addition to City = @cCity and LastName = @cLastName


Hope that helps...
Kevin
