There could still be unexpected results for an entry of, say "cheese 4"... but then, you're the one comparing both text and numeric values in the same field. ; ) Rob Marquardt Designer/Resident Wirehead Toast Design 800 Washington Avenue North Minneapolis MN 55401 612.330.9863 v 612.321.9424 f www.toastdesign.com ------------------------------------------------------------- This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list
