Todd writes "I have a script that will search all tables in a database and find every instance of a given string. My question is, how do I do the same thing for numeric values such as a value in a t_money field?

Thanks."

Not exactly sure what you mean, and what a t_money field is (smallmoney, money, character?), but it seems weird to try to match numbers as characters. e.g. if you search for $27 as a string, you will get values as diverse as 27 cents, .0027 cents, 27 dollars, 270+ dollars,etc. or anywhere the number 27 happens to be embedded.

I'm having difficulty figureing why searching for money is much different.

Could you post your code for the string search?

As you can see SamC is really having (double) difficulty figuring why searching for money is different.
