Hope can help - a simple way to illustrate my problem...
1.Create a simple database with a table and a 'short text' field, call it ReqNo
2. Add the following records to the table for ReqNo : 2a334,999,1231,34595
3. Run the following query against this table.. :
SELECT Max(ReqNo) AS Expr1
FROM Table1
WHERE (((IsNumeric([ReqNo]))<>False));
.... why is the returned value 999...? I had reasonably expected this to return 34595....
Background: I changed the datatype of a field in a crucial table within my production database to short text and now I am unable to retrieve the highest ReqNo from this table which is now causing me some problems...
Thanks in advance for any help you can give...
