OK it works. Thanks.

FYI The two values need to be flipped. Search string first and field name second for anyone else who finds this useful.

Select FFORMID,
Char(max(case when LOCATE('Fld1',FFIELDNAM) > 0

Eric,

How would LOCATE be used in my sample SQL ?

select FFORMID,
char(max(Case when FFIELDNAM like '%Fld1'
then trim(ffieldval) end),30) as fld1 ,
char(max(Case when FFIELDNAM like '%Fld2'
then trim(ffieldval) end),30) as fld2
from formfld where FFORMID =
'cb3c0801-93a8-1940-ad63-0004ac10'
group by fformid
