Sql Help

I CREATED A LIST BOX AND TEXT BOX WITH A COMMAND BUTTON BELOW
THE TXT BOX IS USED TO FIND INFO IN THE LIST BOX . I CREATED A SQL STAMENT THAT DOES THIS. HOWEVER I WOULD LIKE TO CREATE A WILD CARD WHERE IF SOMEONE ENTERS CARACTERS FROM A-Z IT WILL PULL UP A RECORD. BELOW IS MY CURRENT SQL STATEMENT


SQL = "SELECT LWFieldKey, LWTableLink, LWTableName, [LWFieldName_4], [Field Description] " & _
"FROM LWTABLES INNER JOIN LWFIELDS ON " & _
"LWTABLES.LWTableKey = LWFIELDS.LWTableLink " & _
"WHERE [LWFieldName_4] = '" & txtlwField & "' OR " & _
"[Field Description] = '" & txtlwDescription & "'"

here you go

SQL = "SELECT LWFieldKey, LWTableLink, LWTableName, [LWFieldName_4], [Field Description] " & _
"FROM LWTABLES INNER JOIN LWFIELDS ON " & _
"LWTABLES.LWTableKey = LWFIELDS.LWTableLink " & _
"WHERE [LWFieldName_4] like '%" & txtlwField & "%' OR " & _
"[Field Description] like '%" & txtlwDescription & "%'"

"WHERE [FFField Name] LIKE '*" & txtFieldName & "*' OR " & _
"[Field Description] LIKE '*" & txtDescription & "*'"
Set mRS = mDB.OpenRecordset(Sql, dbOpenSnapshot, dbFailOnError)

both fields should work the same way - unless you have an apostrophy (or any special chars) in your txtDescription field.

Thanks again i changed it however when i try to to a wildcard search it goes directly to the first record in the list box no matter what name you type it goes to the first. unlike the othetr txt box where it finds and character that is entered in the list box.

i really appreciate yur help


"WHERE [FFField Name] LIKE '*" & txtFieldName & "*' OR " & _
"[Field Description] LIKE '*" & txtDescription & "*'"
Set mRS = mDB.OpenRecordset(Sql, dbOpenSnapshot, dbFailOnError)
