    Compare Two Fields to Find Differences


    I have a table containing data about people, including their preferred spoken language and their preferred written language. The vast majority of people have the same preferred written and spoken language. I need to find all people whose written language and preferred spoken language are not the same. Please help.

    Maybe just:

    SELECT * FROM table WHERE Spoken<>Written;

    That did it. I knew it was probably a simple query, but for the life of me, I couldn't figure it out. Thank you!
