Hi.

My name is Amanda, and recently I’ve started using Access again for work. I haven’t touched the program in about five years, so I am rusty. In addition, it turns out that I am the only one in my department who’s ever even opened Access. I’ve tried hunting down a manual around here, and it seems to be an ever ending scavenger hunt. I also have not been able to find the answer to my question via web, FAQ, and experimentation, although, I feel it’s a fairly basic question.

So here it goes. I want to return all fields that contain part of a text. For example, I want all fields that contain the word “lux”, regardless of what else the field contains to be returned. So if a field contains “lux. cars” it will be returned in my query.

I’ve tried goggling “Microsoft Access” with “text formulas,” however, all I receive are excel formulas.

Thank you.
 
WHERE MyCol LIKE "*lux*"
 
Thank you!
