I'd nomally use the copy function in delphi, assign it to a variable and apply it to a setrange. but the situation is entirely different via C/S. I think microsoft uses midstr... eg select * from table where midstr(issue,3,6) = 'WC001' can this work? if so what is the correct syntax ?

Why you think and not read the documentation? Docs for SQL Server are called Books Online and they are installed by default. What you need is the substring function.
