Hi,

  I'm trying to retrieve "Standard User" from the Name field of the Profile object with the following query: "select Id, Name from Profile where Name = Standard User"  but that always complains about a malformed query. 

  So I tried "select Id, Name from Profile" and then cast the result into Profile objects, and then scan for a Profile with Name equal to "Standard User".   However, the contents of the Profile names are unexpecting:

PT1
Custom: Marketing Profile
Custom: Sales Profile
Custom: Support Profile 
PT2
PT3
PT4
PT5
PT6

  The Profile names represented by the PT# different for different logins, and so I cannot consistently select Standard User.  Any clues, hints?

Thanks,

Tan
