At the moment I have one table "Threes" and one attribute "AThree" The table is filled with the numbers from 000 to 999. I want a list of all numbers that don't start with say 3 or 5, and don't end in 4, 1 or 9. What I would try is: CODE SELECT * FROM Threes WHERE AThree <> "3##" AND AThree <> "5##" AND AThree <> "##4" AND AThree <> "##1" AND AThree <> "##9" Am i confident that: i) the code's wrong ii) there's an easier way Please help.

Also this is a good place to go for any further questions: http://www.w3schools.com/sql/default.asp This post has been edited by MrWobbles: 5 Aug, 2008 - 08:30 AM
