I did this directly into MySQL on the LinuxPPC box: mysql> select * from biz where -> ID LIKE '%AXD%' AND -> Type LIKE '%' AND -> Con LIKE '%' -> ORDER BY ID; and this is the response: +--------+---------------------+---------+----------+---------+-------+ | ID | Type | Con | Operator | History | Notes | +--------+---------------------+---------+----------+---------+-------+ |DC | Piper Aztec | 27-4169 | | G-AXDC | |DL | Piper Twin Comanche | 30-1856 | | G-AXDL | |DM | BAE HS 125/400B | 25194 | | G-AXDM | +--------+---------------------+---------+----------+---------+-------+ In these records, what is actually in the ID field is also being displayed in 'History'. Not sure if this clarifies things?
