| I'm having trouble getting an IN clause to work. When I use a variable to feed the criteria to the clause, the IN fails (no rows affected). The variable is constructed with a string builder and looks exactly like the string that works, eg, @symbols = 'adrx', 'aes' .WHERE (a_Name_Symbol.Symbol IN ('adrx', 'aes')) //This worksWHERE (a_Name_Symbol.Symbol IN (@Symbols)) //This failsIs there something obvious that I'm doing wrong here?Paul |

| That form of an IN select list is not allowed. You can use dynamic SQL, or you can insert the values into a temp table and use a subquery select in the IN.CODO ERGO SUM |
