    Okay, now tell us what you are trying accomplish. I can't see a correlation between your data and the query from your original post. Possible that I am slightly blind as I am a soccer referee, and been accussed of being blind before.

    Yeah but with those ears you can pick up just about anything via sound. :w00t:

    To answer the OP's original question, do you get any results back from this code:

    Select * From testcases where Scenarionam Like '%[Change6]-[Existing Customer]%'

    Original question is about equals, not "Like". If you want to use "Like", you'll have to escape some of the characters.

    Right, but I suggested like to try to get the actual data that might be in the database so we/he can see why there is not a result with "=".

    Right, since I don't use brackets usually I forget that they are wildcards in the like, so you need to escape the opening bracket ([). Here's the right query:

    Select * From #testcases where Scenarioname Like '%[[]change6]-[[]Existing Customer]%'
