This is probably beyond simple, but I really don't use it very often,
and I just ran into a problem.

I am trying to whip up a table of approximately 20,000 drugs. Many of
the drug listings are actually the same drug, but with different
strengths. For example:

Field5	ID	Field1	Field2	Field3	Field4	Field6	Field7
ABILIFY 1 MG/ML
SOLUTION	13	BEX	59148-0012-15	2.31031		0
OTSUKA
AMERICA
ABILIFY 10 MG
TABLET	14	BEX	59148-0008-13	10.04479		0
OTSUKA
AMERICA
ABILIFY 15 MG
TABLET	15	BEX	59148-0009-13	10.04479		0
OTSUKA
AMERICA
ABILIFY 20 MG
TABLET	16	BEX	59148-0010-13	14.20458		0
OTSUKA
AMERICA
ABILIFY 30 MG
TABLET	17	BEX	59148-0011-13	14.20458		0
OTSUKA
AMERICA
ABILIFY 5 MG
TABLET	18	BEX	59148-0007-13	10.04479		0
OTSUKA
AMERICA

I want to build a query that let you type in Tylenol and get to that
drug, or even "T" and get to that point of the list, where the "t"s are
located. I tried using a "Like" statement in the query, but it didn't
work. How is this done?

Thank you!
