Mark, Peter,
The query below assumes that the user will search of FirstName and none
or more of the other fields - which was not how the question reads (to
me).
To answer the question it would be useful to know how you are accessing
MySQL - are you using PHP (as per example code below) for examp
Hi
$query = 'SELECT *
FROM Table
WHERE
FirstName LIKE "%'.$firstname.'%"' ;
if($lastname)$query.= ', AND LastName LIKE "%'.$lastname.'%"';
if($region)$query.= ', AND Region LIKE "%'.$region.'%"';
if($loan_officer)$query.
