In the hopes of creating a usable search tool for my database, I created a query with five of the fields criteria set to use the like operator. Heres an example criteria: Like [Forms]![frmPowerSearch]![criteria1]
In the frmPowerSearch, I have text fields with default value set to "*". This way, running (or requerying) the query when the field is left default shows all of the records.
The problem is that it does not. It only shows a record when All of the fields that have a criteria are not null or blank.
Since this seams to spoil what would be a very cool search feature, Any suggestiongs would be much appreciated.
Thanks Much,
Matthew
