Thanks.
I knew that there was an easy way, but could not think of it.

Subject: SQL Question

All,
I am having a brain freeze (aka senior moment).
I want to use SQL to determine if a record exists in a file for a given
value.
There will be either only 1 record in the file for the value, or it will
not exist.

Thanks,
