That's right Lambert, Some of us are still too lazy to write out the proper SQL :) Regards Robin ----- Original Message ----- From: "Heenan, Lambert" <Lambert.Heenan at chartisinsurance.com> To: "Access Developers discussion and problem solving" <accessd at databaseadvisors.com> Sent: Tuesday, May 10, 2011 9:42 PM Subject: Re: [AccessD] using Like with ODBC I think that it's working because Robin has changed his criteria in the query design grid, so LIKE "%sold%" OR LIKE "%returned%" OR LIKE "%finished%" Would be just fine. Behind the scenes Access will build the SQL so it reads [Status] LIKE "%sold%" OR [Status] LIKE "%returned%" OR [Status] LIKE "%finished%" Lambert -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Asger Blond Sent: Tuesday, May 10, 2011 4:31 PM To: 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving' Subject: Re: [AccessD] using Like with ODBC >> Well that worked Is that really so? I would expect that you also have to repeat the field name in front of each LIKE, ie.: [Status] LIKE "%sold%" OR [Status] LIKE "%returned%" OR [Status] LIKE "%finished%" Asger -----Oprindelig meddelelse----- Fra: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] På vegne af Robin Lawrence Sendt: 10. maj 2011 20:12 Til: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Emne: Re: [AccessD] using Like with ODBC Hi Drew, Well that worked I already tried that but must have had a typing error in there somewhere..
