# in select queries
I want to find address records with # in the street field (i.e., 123 Easy St
#123). The problem is # is a wild character for numeric values. How can I write an expression to find records with # characters in them?

Putting special characters in square brackets "insulates" them and causes them to be interpreted literally rather than as a wildcard: LIKE "*[#]*" should work. John W.
