Bonus TIPS for Successful Posting

Try a Search First
It is highly recommended that a Search be done on your topic before posting, as many questions have been answered in prior posts. As with any search engine, the shorter the search term, the more "hits" will be returned, but the more specific the search term is, the greater the relevance of those "hits". Searching for "table" might well return every message on the board while "tablesum" would greatly restrict the number of messages returned.

When you do post
First, make sure you are posting your question in the correct forum. For example, if you post an issue regarding Desktop applications on the Mobile & Browser Applications board , not only will your question not be seen by the appropriate audience, it may also be removed or relocated.

The more detail you provide about your problem or question, the more likely someone is to understand your request and be able to help. A sample database with a minimum of records (and its support files, zipped together) will make it much easier to diagnose issues with your application. Screen shots of error messages are especially helpful.

When explaining how to reproduce your problem, please be as detailed as possible. Describe every step, click-by-click and keypress-by-keypress. Otherwise when others try to duplicate your problem, they may do something slightly different and end up with different results.

A note about attachments
You may only attach one file to each message. Attachment file size is limited to 2MB. If you need to include several files, you may do so by zipping them into a single archive.

If you forgot to attach your files to your post, please do NOT create a new thread. Instead, reply to your original message and attach the file there.

When attaching screen shots, it is best to attach an image file (.BMP, .JPG, .GIF, .PNG, etc.) or a zip file of several images, as opposed to a Word document containing the screen shots. Because Word documents are prone to viruses, many message board users will not open your Word file, therefore limiting their ability to help you.

Similarly, if you are uploading a zipped archive, you should simply create a .ZIP file and not a self-extracting .EXE as many users will not run your EXE file.

    Re: MS SQL Query Problem

    That looks like it should work. Only thing that comes to mind is if the Plaintiff_Type has some extra character or space at the end?

    Try this

    SELECT COUNT(ID) AS Row_Count FROM dbo.Plaintiff_Types WHERE Plantiff_Type LIKE '%Appellant%'




    Edit: Not that it matters but you have Plantiff_Type rather than Plaintiff_Type. Doesn't affect your case .. just pointing that out.

      Are you sure the value is "Appellant"?

        The field name is misspelled and to correct it and the rest of the app isn't worth the time.


        Turns out there seems to be an extra, and hidden, character on the end of each row. SELECT COUNT(ID) AS Row_Count FROM dbo.Plaintiff_Types WHERE Plantiff_Type like 'Appellant%' works. So I ran UPDATE dbo.Plaintiff_Types SET Plantiff_Type = RTRIM(Plantiff_Type). That still didn't fix the problem. The data in the table was imported from a flat file. If I edit the table directly and add a new row then the count works for that new row.

        There are only 65 imported rows so I manually went to each one deleting what looks like a space (but isn't) at the end of each row. Now the original query run as it should.
