Char compare to String

hi
I using C# to write a ASP.NET page
and I need to compare a string variable to a Char field in the SQL table in
SQL Server 2000
how can I write a SQL statement to do that?\
I try to use "SELECT Name from Employee Where pass="+password
it shows me an "Invalid column name error"
How can I fix that ?
ThanksYou have to put the value between apostrophes.
"SELECT Name from Employee Where pass = '" + password + "'"
in sql is should look like:
select [name] from employee where pass = '@.#WE$%'

name is a reserved SQL keyword, so you have put put it in brackets like
Alejandro indicated.

trying to indicate what you said (my fault, I did it in t-sql, not in
english).
