John,

You have 2 different fields in your SQL
Column_Number and Column_Name -- is that an issue?

'''''''''''''''''''''''''''
(Column_Number IN ('241', '54', '64', '132', '191', '186', '133', '63',
'139', '185', '129', '151', '201', '147', '127', '113', '261')) OR
                      (Column_Name IN ('145', '141', '187', '52', '122'))
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''
