MS Access Forum / Queries / November 2007Multiple AND criteria
I'm trying to run a query that pulls in records without certain states (approx. 20 of them) anywhere in a field's text. I set up the criteria as <>"*Maine*"and<>"*New Hampshire*"and<>"*Rhode Island*" This is still returning records with the states in them - for example "EC MaineCalc". Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? > I'm trying to run a query that pulls in records without certain states > (approx. 20 of them) anywhere in a field's text. I set up the criteria as [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > MaineCalc". > Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? When you use the wildcard * you must also use the Like keyword. Like "*Maine*" since you do not want Maine, then it's Not Like: Not Like "*Maine* and Not Like "*New Hampshire* and Not Like etc.... You'll need to be careful with a state such as Virginia, as Virginia is included within "West Virginia".  SignatureFred Please respond only to this newsgroup. I do not reply to personal e-mail Unless you use LIKE then it intereprets "*STRING*" as literally "*STRING*" > I'm trying to run a query that pulls in records without certain states > (approx. 20 of them) anywhere in a field's text.
