Hi Helen, my problem isn't the where condition for field1 and field2. My problem is having a correct result when I check a date field that contains null value.
I must compose a query research, and the user can insert or not one or all of these 10 fields.
If the user insert 'A%' in the field1, I want to see all rows where field1 begin with 'A' also if another fieldx of the same row contains null value.

Bye
