How can I run a request on a client name to show all clients where the names has a character that is not in this string :

'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ 123456789&@'

Thanks

The idea that comes to mind, but I have not tried it, is

translate( clientname,
' ',
ï'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ 123456789&@'
) <> ' '

Cheers,
Terry.
