[code]
SELECT *
FROM item
WHERE
CASE
WHEN @itemType = 'A' THEN columnA
WHEN @itemType = 'B' THEN columnB
WHEN @itemType = 'C' THEN columnC
END = 1
[/code]

This works.. but I need to figure out a way to get the ' = 1' portion
to be '= 0' or '<> 1' as well. If i try to include it after the column within the case, I get an error on the '='

Thanks in advance!

Sorry, can you exaplin the problem you are trying to solve?

Unless you mean some thing like this:


WHERE   
	   (@itemType = 'A' AND columnA = 1)
	OR (@itemType = 'B' AND columnB = 0)
	OR (@itemType = 'C' AND columnC <> 1)
