Note Submitter: joe@squarefour.net ---- 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%'
