VdB 7.01 (b1419) Anybody know how to do a query on memo fields and circumvent the problem of case of the string being searched? For example: pcField is the chosen field pcSearchValue is the string to search insert into '<table1>' select * from '<table2>' where upper(&pcField.) like '%' + :pcSearchValue + '%' The above works well if the field is Char. But, if the field is a memo field, you get the error: Database Engine Error: Type mismatch in expression as long as you try to convert the field to upper in the statement. With DML, you could filter on upper(<memo>). What do we do with OODML? Ned
