hi..i have a problem regarding the searching data..the searching function that i want is when i search 'a' the data with start 'a' will be appear..but what i did now, when i search 'a' all the data which have 'a' in sentence will be appear..i dont want like that..anybody, please help me..

If searching via SQL, try:

SELECT <col_name> FROM <table_name> WHERE <search_col_name> LIKE 'A%'

or some variant of that depending on the DBMS, etc.

Hope that helps, you werent specific on where the data was located so I took a stab at helping...

Good Luck
