[AccessD] "Like" operator help

You could put a criteria like this in your query design

Like [Initial Letters] & "*"

Then when the query runs the user will get a dialog asking for the initial
letters and the "*" gets tacked on the end to give you the result you want.

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!
