I have a form to select records defined by criteria in a "search" query. I used the simple query wizard since this looked "simple" !! ... I get results just not the desired results. Example: Field Name "Description" if I search for Green ... I will get Green Light, Green Lens, Green Bulb ... but do not get Lighted Green, Lamp Green, Simple Green. Basically if the description STARTS with the Criteria it will find it ... but will not find it if buried in the description. The code I used is as follows on the query design ... Field: Description Table: tblPartsDatabase Criteria: Like [Forms]![Part Search]![Description] & "*" Thanks in advance
