[AccessD] using Like with ODBC

If you are using ADO, the problem probably isn't like, it's *, ADO uses
% instead of the asterisk.

Subject: [AccessD] using Like with ODBC

Hi All

I'm connecting to a Sage Line 50 Accounts program via ODBC and need to
do a 
multiple LIKE selection from Access XP

ie in the query criteria
[Status]
LIKE "*sold*" OR LIKE "*returned*" OR LIKE "*finished*"'  but am getting
a 
syntax error from the ODBC driver


Been a while since I've had to do this - can't remember the workaround,
any 
help greatly appreciated.....
TIA

Robin Lawrence
