RE: Easy access question
You should be using T% instead of T* Even though * is a valid wildcard in Access, all of your queries in CF have to be written in SQL, which uses % as it's wildcard character.

You are close, the percent sign (%) is your wildcard not (*) just replace the character and it should work fine. Steven Semrau SRA International, Inc.

RE: Easy access question
That should work. What are you getting?

Re: Easy access question
In SQL, these are the wildcard options: % - match zero or more characters _ - match a single character [] - match one of a set of characters. So your query would be: select * from dic where name like 'T%' order by name Hope that helps, Dimo. - Original Message - From: "Art Broussard" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, May 23, 2001 11:31 AM Subject: Easy access question > I want to search a dictionary table in an access database.
