Could you not have just left it at:-



Then those that don't know their SQL wouldn't be tempted to have a go at reading other peoples p.m.'s?

There are times you make the mind boggle!
Les, firstly only ROY I believe has access to teh physical server that you need to be able to run SQL on. Secondly the SQL I posted was dummy SQL and would need far more to it than that, I have no idea what the table name is(although it isn't hard to fnd out as the forum is open source and available for free), or even the table description to find out the data colum containg the text. What I was showing that as these forums all use a database to store the information it only needs a simple query on teh database to find out anything stored in it.


If you wish to castigate me do it from an informed position please!
