I tried using '%s%' instade of '*s*'

There are two records starting with 's' but is returns only one.
Thanks

I would double-check your results. I'm not sure how you are displaying the data in order to verify
that only one instance is being returned, but there is no reason it would work for one row and not
another.

Also, I would remove the parentheses around your WHERE statement. They are unnecessary.

Hello Paul

I double checked it,
I tried the same with %d%, there are 5 records starting with d it shows
only 4...
It eleminates the first maching record in every case, what could be the
reason?
Plz help

The code is

ocmEmpresas.CommandText = "Select DrugName from Stock where (DrugName
LIKE '%" + TextBox2.Text.Trim() + "%')"

Thanks

How are you viewing the data? Did you check all the rows in the Recordset?
