I'm working with a form & a query that allows the user to filter the
data using several combo boxes. One of the combo boxes allows them to
select the first letter of a a particular field, and it will use that
first letter in the criteria of the query to include only records with
a value beginning with that letter. The tricky part is that one of the
possible values for that field is - *.* - not values I would have
chosen, but they are coming from another system, so I have no control
over it. If you select the * value, it ends up returning all of the
records. Is there any way I can still use this setup, and still filter
for records beginning with an asterisk? I tried enclosing the asterisk
in quotes, but it doesn't return any values. i'm stumped - any
suggestions?

For just a leading asterisk, place the * within brackets.
Like "[*]" & "*"
For the *,* combination, use:
Like "[*]" & "," & "[*]" & "*"

This is what I'm trying to do:
In a form, a user enters a value (e.g. John) and clicks on submit.
Submit opens up a query with one of its values (e.g. Name) set to the value
of the control that the user just typed "John" into.
Thus far, this works fine, and it pulls up all the records where Name =
John.

I have a table with 4 fields. Three are used for criteria.
I can get the DLookup to work with 1 criteria with the following but
can't get it to work with 2 or three.
NumofAppts = DLookup("", "LookUpAppts", "
= " & Forms!!NumofPeople)
Can someone tell me how to add multiple criteria? I tried "And" but
it doesn't seem to work.
