[LOGic] Problems sorting by "BAND"

Your supposition is correct.
Dennis is using the standard compare operations in Foxporo...
"6M" doesn't mean a thing to a computer other than "six em"... Dumb beasts
;-)

A "list" operator... X is in val1, val2, val3, val4 would be useful in this
case... Unfortunately I don't think Foxpro has one.
