I don't see an easy way to distinguish between Time/Day/Month and timesheets in a query. Both are a "word" unless you have also specified /& and space as delimiters. What exactly are you trying to accomplish with this? RegEx could do it for you but you would have to build a function and pass in the contents of the field to that function to determine if the desired string was found.

I have done it, but I am using instr(), ASC() tests, etc. to pull an exact match. Just thinking there must be an easier way. Example find exact word Time Text 1. The time is 9 o'clock 2. The timer has been set 3. Please enter Time/Day/Month 4. Please enter Time&Day&Month 5. Time is on your side 6. All timesheets required by 4 oclock 7. Please enter Day/Month/Time 8. Last recorder time9 PM 9. Please enter TimeandDay 10. Please set the timertoff Would like only records 1,3,4,5,7 and 8 to be displayed and my query currently does that. 9 (like to get) and 10(would be punted) can be possibly be done with some tweaking, but kind of messy. -- AccessD mailing list AccessD at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/accessd Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
