Everyone has been a super help so far. My next question is what is the best way for me to approach this… If I have 7 fields that a user can search what is the best way to conduct this search, They can have any combination of the 7 fields so that is 7! or 5040 Combinations which is impossible to code that many. So how do I account for when the User selects field 1 and field 3 or they select field 1, field 2, and field 7? Is there any easy to do this with SQL? I dont know if I should approach this using an IF statement or go towards a CASE in the select statement. Or should I go a complete different direction? Well if anyone has any helpful pointers I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank You
You’ll probably want to look into using dynamic SQL for this. See: Dynamic Search Conditions in T-SQL and Catch-all queries for good articles on this topic.
