SELECT Name FROM SMS_R_System WHERE LEFT(SystemOUName, 34) = 'example.com/COMPUTERS/MAIN CAMPUS/' AND RIGHT(SystemOUName, 3) IN ('ABC', 'XYZ') But this will probably take a measurable amount of time longer to execute - 2 comparisons and 2 string processes. Maybe not for a single run, but after several hundred. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
