When using this ODBC function to call out results from a MS Access database using the "LIKE" operator, you may find you are ending up with nothing. My reason for this was because I had been using the SQL wildcard '*' in my query. Access does not use this wildcard but instead uses '%', hence the reason why I did not get any data back. So just change the '*' to '%' and all problems should be solved. Ex: Doesn't work: SELECT fieldname FROM table WHERE fieldname LIKE '*searchstring*' Does work: SELECT fieldname FROM table WHERE fieldname LIKE '%searchstring%' ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.odbc-result.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+38642 Delete -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+38642&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+38642&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
