Hi. I want to convert the following SQL statement so that if &quot;PARENT&quot; exists [Apllicable to] it selects that record. Do I use the Instr function or is there a better function? In other words if<br />
[Applicable to] contained &quot;PARENT,STAFF&quot; then it would select that records <br />
<br />
sSQL= &quot;SELECT * FROM [Table1] WHERE [Applicable to] = ' PARENT'&quot;
