Im trying to write a query that finds something thats close, or the beginning of something. ex. If i type in Jen it will return Jenny, and Jennifer, Jen etc. What is the proper code for this.

In the criteria of the field use
Code:
Like "*" & [Enter name to search] & "*"
This will bring up a dialog asking for the name and will return all of the matches. This is looking for the string anywhere in the name, not just at the beginning.
