Use multiple parameters in one like statement

3
I know it is possible to have multiple paramters for an equal statement.
IE: SELECT * FROM table WHERE field IN ('a','b','c');

My question is:
Can I do something similar with the LIKE statement?
IE: SELECT * FROM table WHERE field LIKE ('a','b','c');

I know I could use an OR statement, but I am trying to create a filter that my client can easily change. I want to put the filter criteria inside another table. I did this with the code below, but I want to do it with LIKE.

SELECT * FROM table WHERE field IN (SELECT criteria from tableCriteria);

Any help would be great!

You can use sql wildcards. See posts #11 thru #14 in this thread:
