Uh, yeah, it's Like, and it uses the * and ? wildcards.

Yes, but he was asking about what to do within VB, not with a database
library.

Anderson,
None that I know of. But if you have a database that has the data and it
supports SQL as Access does, it doesn't make much sense to overlay another
search algorhythm to perform wildcard or pattern matches. And actually,
PERL is probably the better language for manipulating text and finding text
based on patterns.
