I TOTALLY agree about this database but....it was brought over from access which was created by a non DBA or webdeveloper and I was hired to get a site up...

It would be but I am passing in a delimited parameter. These Params are filled from the user making multiple selections from the listbox or if no selection is...

Got it....did a OR and that worked.

AND (PM1.PM70.Projects.Project_Manager = (case when @pm is null

then PM1.PM70.Projects.Project_Manager END)

OR

CHARINDEX('~' + PM1.PM70.Projects.Project_Manager + '~', @pm ) >...

Here is the whole sp....I think its something else in it but I can't figure it out. I am sooooo close.

Cause it still gives the error. Incorrect syntax near '>'

I think I got it figured out. Kind of using DUAL in Oracle. I found this thread while searching some more after posting. http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic776445-9-1.aspx and...

SWEET! That worked...Pretty easy now that I look back at it. Thanks a MILLION!! 😀

Cool! That worked...now how do I keep it from selecting NULL in the MJH_Number column? Its over 160852 rows and takes a while but if I eliminate the NULL's that...
