That starts to get complicated because now the second AND operator is dependent on content of more than 1 control. But I just remembered a simpler syntax.
"[fgk] LIKE " & Nz(.Text25, "'*'") & " AND [S_Active] LIKE '" & Nz(.Text5, "*") & "' AND [S_Type] LIKE '" & Nz(.Text13, "*") & "'"
The first approach can be useful for concatenating fields such as name parts and want to avoid extra spaces or comma when a name part, such as middle name, is not present.
