    I looked at your database. I tried your query and found it keeps putting an "A" before the Like "*purp*" when I was searching for purp anywhere in the treatment column. I tried several times, even created a new query with and without Like . When I used Like "Has*" or Like "*purp*", i kept getting ALike???
    Have no idea what problem is, but I tried one of my data bases and the Like worked as expected. Perhaps there is some corruption within your database??

    Thx but i guess you understand what i am looking for. Just a search tool which can return results based on the word typed from the treatment colonm. Any possible solutions?
    Thx again.

    I'm attaching another mdb. I created it from scratch and just imported your tables.
    I set up a query to ask for a search string.

    Good luck.
