# character as text
I want to create a query to search for all records where a particular field
begins with the # character. My query criteria for this field is Like "#*" but this produces nothing. I assume the # is reserved but I can't find what the MS Access Escape character is. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. |

To find "#" at the start of the field: Like "[#]*" -- Fred Please respond only to this newsgroup. I do not reply to personal e-mail |
