I want to find a specific person by last name using a query. There is a field called LNAME and it is present in my query. What phrase do I put in the criteria to ask the user what name he/she is looking for? Or is there another means to make this happen?

Under the Criteria for LName column of the query,put in the following line.

Like "*" & [Please enter partial last name] & "*"



 
I know it was simple but thank you very much. Where may I find similiar examples for extracting data using queries?
