I cant figure this out, I have a table with the field "Location" in it. Location is varchar(20) and I store the location name in it. Theres going to be lots of different states in it, I want to be able to go SELECT * FROM gamertags WHERE Location = Ohio, but when I do it doesnt work. How can I make this work?

From SQL you've posted, Kdawg, I suspect you may just be missing the quote marks, as in:
Code:
SELECT * FROM Destruction
WHERE City='Baghdad'

You should probably keep in mind that SQL uses single quotes around text values tho' I hear most DBMSs will also take double quotes. Also, numerics don't get quotes.
