[dba-SQLServer] SQL WildCard Searches

Thanks Again Robert,

Is there a way to call this procedure from within SQL Server...I'm trying to 
do this all in SQL Server and not involve Access.  I can call the sproc from 
the query analyzer...but I can only pass a single value.  How can I, using 
the logic below(all where clauses in table),from the query analyzer...loop 
through the records in my criteria table and execute the sproc on each one?

Thanks,

Mark A. Matte
