Forgive me for I am new to code in general and completely new to CCS. I know that this is exceedingly simple but I cannot get it to work.
I based a CCS grid on a join query in my database. That query had a criteria on the column [Name] so that records with "transfer*" are filtered out. When CCS built the grid, it did not retrieve the criteria parameters. Therefore, I went into the query builder and set where conditions. My goal was to create a "Not-Like" situation for anything beginning with "Transfer". I did not see term "string" in the selections for the Parameter Source type. Therefore I used the term "expression" and tested the query - it worked. However, when I try to publish the live page it doesn't work unless I remove this "where" parameter.
So the question is: how can I use where parameters to filter out data based on a string? How can I eliminate any records that start with "Transfer" in the [Name} field?
It feels stupid asking this question. It seems that it should be obvious.

This is taken from Northwind on SQL Server Database
SELECT *
FROM Employees
WHERE (Title NOT LIKE 'Sales%')
This filters out words starting with 'Sales%'
Therefore you should use WHERE parameter in EXPRESSION and enter this
Title NOT LIKE 'Sales%'
Or In your case
Name NOT LIKE 'Transfer%'
Or when using Access 97/2000
Name NOT LIKE 'Transfer*'
Kindly try and regards Tony

Thanks for the reply Tony. I appreciate the help. Here is the entire code for the query (note the last line):
SELECT [EQ ID], DESCRIPTIO, MAKE, MODEL, FLUKE_ID, ASSET_NO, SERIAL_NO, DATE_OUT, Name, DEPT
FROM qryUseNowDetail
WHERE DESCRIPTIO LIKE '%{s_DESCRIPTIO}%'
AND MAKE LIKE '%{s_MAKE}%'
AND MODEL LIKE '%{s_MODEL}%'
AND FLUKE_ID LIKE '%{s_FLUKE_ID}%'
AND ASSET_NO LIKE '%{s_ASSET_NO}%'
AND SERIAL_NO LIKE '%{s_SERIAL_NO}%'
AND Name LIKE '%{s_Name}%'
AND DEPT LIKE '%{s_DEPT}%'
AND Name NOT LIKE 'Transfer%'
Now when I run a test of the query, the data looks fine with no "transfers". However, If I try to publish the CCS page, it chokes and I get "Page cannot be displayed" error. If I remove the last line (the transfer parameter) CCS publishes and reads the page just fine - of course with all the offending "transfers" included.
I do not understand what the problem is. This shouldn't be so hard to simply filter for a string.
