    Posted: 27 April 2005 at 4:22pm
Hi all, i am trying to query my access table from my website with the following SQL:
 
record_sql = "SELECT * FROM record_overview WHERE ARTIST LIKE '%" & searchword & "%' OR TITLE LIKE '%" & searchword & "%' OR DESCRIPTION LIKE '%" & searchword & "%' AND STOCK > 0 ORDER BY ARTIST ASC"
 
the problem is that it all works fine except for the AND Stock >0 bit - it still brings back items that have 0 in the field.
 
any ideas?
 
thanks
mark

It's like High-School Math. Put brackets around it
 
record_sql = "SELECT * FROM record_overview WHERE (ARTIST LIKE '%" & searchword & "%' OR TITLE LIKE '%" & searchword & "%' OR DESCRIPTION LIKE '%" & searchword & "%') AND STOCK > 0 ORDER BY ARTIST ASC"

aye. bit more of an explanation.   using Or in the sql statement is like resetting Where statement, it whipes all the previous where & And stuff each Or is starting fresh.

so the stock > 0 is only applicable to doing a search for DESCRIPTION

if you went
ARTIST LIKE '%" & searchword & "%' AND STOCK > 0 OR TITLE LIKE '%" & searchword & "%' AND STOCK > 0 OR DESCRIPTION LIKE '%" & searchword & "%' AND STOCK > 0

that would also work..  but obviously the brackets is a much better solution. I just thought ya might want to know why.
