    Parameter field in Form

    I have created a form I am using to specify an input parameter for a query.



    Is there a way to make the field wildcard automatically?

    For example, as it works now, if the user wants to search for "will" they can type in "will" or "w*" or any other wildcard combination.

    I would like them to be able to type in "w" and have the query select "will"

    I'm playing with the input mask for the field but can't find a way to automatically append the input with an "*".

    Any ideas?

    Doubt input mask will serve for this.
