I have a condition in a tablemaker column where what i'm trying to do is this: (%6 = "833/2") XOR (%7 = "K 560") The problem is that if %6 or %7 contain white space then that half of the query no longer evaluates correctly. By trial and error I have found that: (%6 = "833/2") XOR !(%7 = "*") will return the table that I was expecting from the 1st condition. Matt Couchman.
