If you want it so that the users can enter wildcards to replace unknown characters, then you need to adjust the criteria and include the operator like. It is looking for that project which has the word potion in its name. That is because Access is looking for an exact match in the project name field. The above step does not generate any result. Now run your query and let us assume that you don’t know the exact project name, but you know that the project name contains the words “potion”. Let us again go to the query design and add prompt for project name. Let us now look at a simple example of using these wildcard characters by opening the query design.Īdd the highlighted tables and close the Show Table dialog box.Īdd the fields in the query grid which you want to see as a query result.
Wh% finds what, white, and why, but not awhile or watch. It can be used as the first or last character in the character string.

You can use the asterisk (*) anywhere in a character string. The following table lists out characters supported by ANSI-89 − Character Access projects use the ANSI-92 standard because SQL Server uses that standard. You use the ANSI-92 wildcards when you run queries against Access projects - Access files connected to Microsoft SQL Server databases. Wildcards can also help with getting databased on a specified pattern match.Īccess supports two sets of wildcard characters because it supports two standards for Structured Query Language.Īs a rule, you use the ANSI-89 wildcards when you run queries and find-and-replace operations against Access databases such as *.mdb and *.accdb files. Wildcards are special characters that can stand in for unknown characters in a text value and are handy for locating multiple items with similar, but not identical data.
