Arthur, Thanks again, but I just sent the first example I had...I had not heard of 'regex' and your statement "<last one doesn't fit the pattern"> really confused me...but after researching it I realised the logic behing the suggestion. In the example I gave I was trying to find reference to a company named 'HAIER' pronounced (hire or hare)...and those were the variations I came up with...the last was a model number...so if the record made any reference to the company or model I wanted it. Below is a better example or what I use. Thanks again, Mark A.
