Wild card on search form issue

[Zigzag]

Hi all,

I need a little help with a wild card issue, Ive looked and looked and cant spot whats wrong.

I have two forms "Requisitioner" & "Engineers", each form has a subform.
These are basic search forms (unbound) that find related records in the subforms. The work is done in the query of the subform and then the form is refreshed. I have used this approach many many times without issue until now.

If the engineers form is opened "G*" is entered into the text box then all the entries beginning with "G" are found in the subform.

If the "*" is then removed from the text box leaving "G" no results are found in the subform, (Working Correctly)

Now if the "*" is added again "G*" then the subform shows all the entries beginning with "G"


Everything is good with the Engineers Form, If the same steps are made on the Requisitioners form after adding the "*" again no records are displayed.

I could change the way this works by doing a recordset find but i really want to know why this is working on one form but not on another.

I would appreciate any help with this.

Garry
