I've tried to use the following SQL code in VdB 7.01, where Companies is a DBF table and Contacts is a Memo field and contact is a character variable with upper-case values:- UPDATE Companies SET Tempflag1=0 WHERE UPPER(Contacts) NOT LIKE '%'+:contact+'%' This results in the error 'Type mismatch in expression'. However, the same code without the UPPER() function works OK but is, of course, case-sensitive. The problem appears to be peculiar to Memo fields - character fields work OK. Can anyone advise on this one, please? Dave
