RE: Access Queries

Hi Colin

Thank you for your question

Are you trying to locate a particular word or phrase in a memo field? If so simply type the word or phrase in the criteria row of your query builder, but enclose it in * marks.

For example if you were looking for the word seaweed, then simply type *seaweed* into the query designer's criteria row and this will return what you need. For multiple words simply list them on seaperate rows, again enclosed in *

Hope this is useful

Regards

Stephen

Access tip:

Display current date & time in column of any width

The worksheet function =NOW() returns the current date & time. When entered into a column which is not wide enough to display the value NOW returns, the cell displays ###
