Try this
ASCII(<<your_char>>) NOT BETWEEN ASCII('A') AND ASCII('Z') ASCII('A')-ASCII('Z') is an interval and ASCII('a')-ASCII('z') is another so be careful

Hi,

I would like to exclude an arrange of characters. there is for instance:

not in ('A','B','C','D','E'.......);
Is there not perhaps something easier? ie: not in ( A-Z, a-z) ;
Does anyone know of a function or some other more economical way of doing this?

Many Regards
Denham
