Default % sign in access

Does access accepts the "%" sign for missing values in a query?

If you are talking about wildcards in LIKE statements, then no. Jet
requires the DOS-like wildcards: * and ?.
The exception is if you are using ADO to execute a query, then you need
to use the ODBC wildcards: % and _.

I believe you are talking about wildcards - no. Use question mark for
single character, asterisk for multiple character, and # (number sign) for
numbers only.
