One last question. I changed all the DB values where numbers are used - (varchar - int) But for the well locations, there are dashes in them, I.E. 10-15-065-22 With setting the field to int, it only displays the first part. 10-15-065-22 shows as 10 There are also several other fields that use dashes. If I set it back to varchar, will it sort it right because the numbers are separated by an alfa character, or will I have the same problem as before?
