you can check if the first character is numeric or not like:

IsNum(Left(trim(YourField),1))

Hi,

     If you want to select such records from listbox then you can use the search option of listbox and start typing "a*", this will show you the records which starts with "a", then you can press "Enter" to select those records.

     If you want to select such record in expression (Meaning show the data of only those records which starts with a) then the expression will be as below.

     Sum({<Field = {"a*"}>}Sales)

Do you mean in a SQL SELECT statement or a selection in a listbox??
