Mike Hi
        packed data on the machine side is kinda foreign to VB.
        If you can, (I'm a bit of a VB novice myself), try bringing the packed
data into a variable, before you do the select.
        Apart from that, take an eye-ball view of the two fields you're
comparing.
        Good luck..
