omg, I didn't mean to be funny.  I was sincere.
I can see how that might be confusing.

Thanks for the heads up on the 'escape' clause.

Betreff: Looking for % 

Hi everyone
Before I forget - we are at V7r1 (hooray)
When I have to locate records that contain a string in a certain field, I 
use
Select * from filename where field like'%abcde%'
But what do you use if you are looking for the character %

I tried google search it, but google search doesn't like %

As always, any and all responses welcome
