Help with wherecondition and wildcards in VBA..........

[Gobi]

Hello, I was wondering how to modify the Do.cmd wherecondition
statement to filter not only for RATTY name but also for the "LAST"
field that contain a "^" carrot in front of them...With the current
system a carrot is placed in front of the LAST field ie ^Smith to
denote it as signifigant and i need to pull those out of the
report....
So LAST not like "^*". what are wildcards in VBA? how is the sytax in
the do.cmd statement anyhelp will be much appreciated..Thanks Much
Private Sub Run_ATTY_Report_Click()
'this runs just attorney
Dim stDocName As String
Dim strAttyName As String
Dim strLAName As String
Dim strReportName As String
strReportName = "By_ATTY_AND_LA"

strAttyName = lstRATTY.Column(0)
strLAName = lstLEGAL_ASST.Column(0)
'MsgBox ("Atty Name = " & strAttyName & " Legal Asst. Name = " &
strLAName)

DoCmd.OpenReport reportname:=strReportName, View:=acViewPreview,
Wherecondition:="RATTY = '" & strAttyName & "'"

Is LAST the last name or the last entry?

Look at the LEFT() function.

It is the LAST Name field
