Where are you "putting this in"?

Create a new Query based on your table.

Put the LIKE expression on the criteria line under the fieldname.

Open the query datasheet.

That is strange. Could the zeros actually be the letter 0. I've seen that
before. How about leading blanks? Go to the table and sort A to Z and see
what happens.

Also if this is a number, not text, field, the leading zero is being put in
by formatting. Could be something going wrong there.

Tell you what, thy this in a query and see what happens:

Like "*289*"

Sort on that field. See what shows then and where.
