RE: [SQL] using like

ahh, sorry again for conjestion on the list! i have parameter criteria
defined in an msaccess97 query, so when i run the query, it asks me for a
value. i since learned that i can put those wildcards (%) in the value i
type in when access asks for it! also, in the query definition (access97,
not a passthrough. . .) i can also convert the field to uppercase and
convert the user-input value (criteria expression) to uppercase so the
search isn't case-sensitive! it just gets cooler. . .

A variable name where? In AccessBasic?
