I am converting over to mySQL from Access 2.0 and I am having a little
trouble with a query.  Here it is:
 
SELECT Max(WBS) AS LastOfWBS FROM Projects Where((WBS)) Like """ &
txtEntryData(0).Text & "#%"";

I am trying to get the last WBS ID starting with a particular letter
the user will type in the textbox.  My criteria is that it has to start
with a letter and the next character is a number.  There can be letters
or more numbers to the right of the first number.  For example:  A01C or
B001, but not AB01.  In Access we could use the following query:

SELECT DISTINCT Max([Projects].[WBS]) AS LastOfWBS 
FROM Projects where (Projects.WBS) Like """ & txtEntryData(0).Text &
"#*"";
 
How can I insure when using mySQL that the second character is a
number?
