Criteria problem in Access Query

I have a field with a whole customer name: (LastName Comma FirstName) in a table.

I'm trying to run a query, where it filters out one particular name. Should be easy enough but when I type any part of this name the query comes up blank!?

Does it have something to do with the fact that the field was entered in as

Smith, Joe

Rather than having 2 separate fields for First, Last name?

I have tried everything...just putting Smith...just putting Joe.

What gives?

Criteria for part of a string should be

Like "*Name*"
