Restrict method that begin within a certain range of characters

[donald]

Hi there,

i am trying to do what the help said about Restrict.

You can use the Restrict method to search for items that begin within a
certain range of characters. For example, to search for all contacts
with a last name beginning with the letter M, use this filter:

sFilter = "[LastName] > 'LZZZ' And [LastName] < 'N'"

It word find with B to Y or 2 to 9.

so for Y

sFilter = "[LastName] > 'XZZZ' And [LastName] < 'Z"

But what about if i am doing this on A, Z, 1 or 9??

thanks a lot

Donald

Donald, >'A' should find 'B' and <'B' should find 'A'.

Additionally, in OL >= XP you can use the AdvancedSearch functin, which
supports the LIKE operator.

michael i do know about AdvancedSearch but i have got all the code for
all my programming now.

So let me get this right:

for A i need to do:

sFilter = "[LastName] > 'A' And [LastName] < 'A"

Donald, that handling is similar to numbers: How could a number be more than
1 and at the same time less than 1?

So, everything less (<) than 'B' must be 'A...'.
