Hi all,
I'm running a sql statement to delete records in a table in Access database.
If I run it inside the Access, it deletes with no problem, but when I call it
from vb.net(oledb), it doesn't delete any records and I don't get any errors.
Here's the code:
cmd.CommandText = DELETE FROM TABBLE WHERE FIELD1 LIKE 'A*'
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
Am I missing something here? Thanks for your input.

Well if I'm not mistaken there is only one B in TABLE. :o)

Hi Roy,
If I remember correctly, Access uses "*" and "?" as wilcards, while ODBC
drivers, OLEDB Provides, etc. uses ANSI "%" and "_" wildcards respectively.
So, try:
cmd.CommandText = DELETE FROM TABBLE WHERE FIELD1 LIKE 'A%'

Sorry Roy I was just being stupid.
Try replacing the * with % and see if that works.

DELETE FROM TABBLE WHERE FIELD1 LIKE 'A*'
You don't get an error because this statement is successfully deleting
zero rows. There aren't any rows in in TABBLE where FIELD1
contains the value "Ayy asterisk".
The wildcard character for OLEDB is "%", not "*". Try
DELETE FROM TABBLE WHERE FIELD1 LIKE 'A%'
instead.

I just remembered after I saw your replies- that is a sign I'm getting old
for this
Thank you all,
