| SELECT USERNAMEFROM EVENTSWHERE USERNAME NOT LIKE '%$%'You'll receive a performance penalty for this though.Have a look at LIKE in SQL Server Books Online for details on what it can do.Tara |

| Also keep in mind that this will exclude any usernames that are NULL. You will have to decide how you want to handle the NULL values, if any. |
