Re: How can this be?? Must be something OBVIOUS

Thank you Peter and Robert.  I do believe that the problem is that the
field is not treated as numeric.  Don't know why it will not pick the
field specs up properly from the database, but I have changed the file
field to alphanumeric, and the comparison seems to work now.

Hi Don,

Maybe it's because they're strings, not numbers, so the comparison is
left-adjusted blank-filled, not based on decimal alignment.

In other words, "4" is greater than "1".
