You need to delimit your parameter. I am guessing that it is a text
param so you delimit it with single quotes '. Place a single quote
before the first '* and after the second *'
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmSearchResul ts", , , "text24 Like '*" & filter1 & "*'"

I think I got the command to work, except it opens a blank form with nothing
on it. None of the controls or text I have put on the form show up.
The command is:
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmSearchResul ts", , , Text24 Like "*" & filter1 & "*"
Text24 is the control on the results form that holds the Asset Tag #
filter1 is the data that the user enters on the search form to earch for an
asset tag #
I have checked the data in the table and the record is present. The asset
tag # is DMH10257. I tried to str(filter1) but it made no difference.
Does any one have an idea?

Given the incomplete informmation provided, Rich's response was correct.
The WHERE clause needs to filter the data that is the RecordSource for
the form. Not the controls on the form. Is Text24 bound to a field in
the RecordSource? What is the name of the field that holds the Asset
Tag (hopefully, not Text24)?

I'm pretty sure I know everything that I can remember.
Say the user types in 2A3 for the Asset Tag. The proper format for
your command is:
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmSearchResul ts",,, "Text24 Like '*2A3*'"
That is: Text24 Like SingleQuote*2A3 *SingleQuote - All surrounded by
double-quotes.
Because you want to replace the FIlter string with a variable, it
becomes:
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmSearchResul ts",,, "Text24 Like '*" & filter1 & "*'"
That is:
"Text24 Like SINGLEQUOTE*Dou bleQuote & filter1 &
DoubleQuote*Sin gleQuoteDoubleQ uote

Sorry for the incomplete information.
I did figure out the LIKE command but it seems that it returns no records
when I enter a number, like 257. The asset tag field holds DMH10257. I try
to search by 257 and I get no records using the LIKE command. The DMH part
of the field never changes, just the number.
The command I am using is:
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmSearchResul ts", , , assettag Like "*" & filter1 & "*"
I did have text24 instead of asset tag and I figured out that text24 was a
control that was not bound to a field. I fixed it but it will not return any
records. I also tried using the ' (single quote) mark but when I do I
receive a popup box asking me to type in data for the assettag field.
I guess I don't understand why the LIKE command doesn't work in the where
clause in an mdb file.

It's not going to work if you don't enclose the WHERE clause in quotes.
If assettag is a field in the recordsource for the form and filter1
contains your target value, such as 257, this syntax will work.
DoCmd.OpenForm "frmSearchResul ts", , , "assettag Like ""*" & filter1 & "*"""

Well after all this discussion it would appear that a 'Python like'
language has appeared => Prothon. http://www.prothon.org/index.html
Very alpha, sort of like Python (if you consider the indenting is what
makes Python unique) and sort of Ruby in its use of prefixes to define
scoping etc (although there is no reference to this trait being borrowed
from Ruby). It also quotes Self as being an influence.

Timings... sometimes there are almost too many ways to do the same thing.
The only significant findings I see from all the below timings is:
1) Integer math is generally fastest, naturally. Bigint math isn't much
slower, for integers that all fit within an integer.
2) Converting float to varchar is relatively slow, and should be avoided if
possible. Converting from integer to varchar or varchar to int is several
times faster.

Way back when, and at least in version 7 IIRC, the query optimizer gave
up when the where clause in a statement contained more than 4 search

Does anyone know if such a limitation still exist in MS SQL 2005? The
BOL seems to be silent on the issue.
