New Laptop from Work - Queries don't work????

[sportsguy]

I have a new laptop from work,
Dell Latitude E6500, XP, Office 2003, dell image, 4 GIGS ram, P9600 chipset. . .

Access doesn't work correctly, query below will not return anything

SELECT CITYSTATECOUNTY.City, CITYSTATECOUNTY.State, CITYSTATECOUNTY.County
FROM CITYSTATECOUNTY
WHERE (((CITYSTATECOUNTY.City) Like "*Gr*"));

also, when entering criteria "*GR*" the like does not automatically populate,
and if I type Like "*GR*", the automation returns ALike "*GR*" and the query still doesn't work . . .

I have updated all MS updates, repaired MS Access,

anyone have any similar experiences with Access?

thanks sportsguy
