Create a new Query based on your table. Put the LIKE expression on the criteria line under the fieldname. Open the query datasheet. John W. Vinson[MVP] |

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. -- Jerry Whittle Light. Strong. Cheap.
