Craig writes "Dear Guru:

I am trying to do this:

SELECT ID FROM YRQ WHERE name IN (SELECT YRQlist FROM Publish)

The problem is, (I think) it interprets the results of the subquery,
---) 'A012','A015' (---
as a string, rather than a list.

Here are the two tables:

"YRQ" table
===========
ID Name
1 A012
2 A013
3 A014
4 A015
... etc


"Publish" table --- just one record
===================================
startDate endDate YRQList
1/1/2001 6/1/2001 'A012','A015'


I'm using SQL Server 7.0. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Craig"
