Howdie dudes en dudettes!

I was wondering
I have very simpel query:

SELECT zoekcode, samennaam
FROM lid
WHERE zoekcode LIKE 'SPAA%';

(I'm dutch so now you know why the table name etc is rather strange)

ok, looked in the table LID and i saw that there's a record: SPAA 6

my intention with this query is to get al the records where zoekcode starts with SPAA.
I'm 100% positive that the query is OK. I changed the position of the % but nothing works!

could this be a bug in ACCES 2000

thanks!!

Leter!

Access uses "*" as the wildcard character for the LIKE operator, just like VB; this is the equivalent of the "%" from SQL you are trying to use.

Also, "?" is the equivalent in Access/VB of the "_" character.
