Paul, You can't use a "do case" in a SQL statement, which is where icase is very useful along with iif. When I say can’t I mean you'd have to use a carefully crafted UDF which is slow.

I suppose it could be handy in an index expression. It's not like we're in the old days where every byte/cycle counts. -- Paul [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
