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?
