I'm having trouble getting a SQL statement to work in ADO that works fine in normal Access Queries. It has something to do with the wildcard in a LIKE statement. Do wildcards not work in ADO or do I have to escape it somehow?

Hi

I thing (but I am not sure of this) the wild card characters in ADO are different, is it ? instead of * and _ instead of ?

The ADO wildcards are "%" and "_".
