I have a query in which you enter a key word to search a description field and it is supposed to return all instances of that word. My criteria is:

Like[Enter Key Word]& "*"

If I enter the word Contract

...my results include records with these descriptions:

Contractor Record
Contract Administration
Contract 655

...but not these:

1. Proposal, 2. Contract, 3. Correspondence
2. Consultant Contract/Supplemental Agreements

I know I need to add something to the search criteria but I haven't a clue what to add.

Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated!

Thanks.
 
If you want it to pick up where "Contract" is in the middle, you have to add another "*" to the front...

Like "*" & [Enter Key Word] & "*"
