[AccessD] Query Grid - Exact Match

Hey Mark
Not really looking for typos, I am designing a user query form that 
basically allows them to create their own fairly sophisticated queries 
on a data table, using english words instead of symbols etc. One of the 
query options is CONTAINS which works fine, this was just an aside, the 
data we are using is imported from another program, and there are no 
standardization rules for data entry on that end,  Testing CONTAINS I 
noticed that the same type of information was entered in, in a myriad of 
ways (also different spellings of the same word). So I was just trying 
to see if I could pull an exact match out of the mess, more for my own 
curiosity really.
