[AccessD] "Like" operator help

I really didn't want to use a form...this is just a simple table (i.e.
not a whole program) that our nursing department will use...they get an
update monthly (I think it is) and just want to quickly access any given
drug. But, I did think a form may be the answer, so I whipped up a quick
litte one. One the form I've got a text box (Text0) and a label
(Text2)...I'm just playing right now, so the names are defaults. On
the "On Change" property of Text0, I've got a statment that says
Text2.Caption = "Like '" & Text0.Text & "*'" 

This is working fine in the label, as it is showing up the way I want
it...although I just noticed that I only have single quotes...hmmmm. I
bet if I can get double quote in there it works.

Right now, if I put "t" into Text0, I see: Like 't*' in Text2,
and in the query I have [Forms]![enterfrm]![Text2] in the criteria
section. This little bugger is turning out to be...well...a little
bugger ;(

Append the global "*" to whatever is the value entered (as a string)
with the "&" character and then submit to the query.

I should clarify that I did get:

Like "ty*"

to work, but I want to leave it to the user to enter the letter(s).
And, I am using A2K

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!
