Posted By: HFloyd Subject: Rdbquery issue: string pattern '%[[[]]%' is invalid. Date Posted: 03-Jul-2009 at 5:23pm Hi, I have found that if the string '[' is passed to an Rdbquery for searching, it gives an error: System.Data.EvaluateException was unhandled   Message="Error in Like operator: the string pattern '%[[[]]%' is invalid." Is there some way I can escape that character when creating an Rdbquery so it doesn't throw the error? Are there any other charcters which might need to be handled when passed in to Rdbquery? (This is a simple keyword search form in my app.) Thanks! Heather
