Re: DAP rs.find

You have two %. There is a difference between 'ABC%' and '%ABC%' .

Sylvain,
I looked again at the line on the page from aspxtreme that you
referenced and my line isn't the same.

Note the % is between the single quote and the double.

Here is what I have. It works just great.

Dim rs
Set rs = MSODSC.DataPages(0).Recordset.Clone
On error resume next
-->
rs.find "LastName Like '%" & Cstr(InputBox("Please enter LastName to
find", "Find")) & "%'"

You're close, the final statement must look like "LastName Like
'NameToSearch%'" and where the string to search is enclosed between
single quote ' instead of double quotes " . DAP understand both % or *.
The underline symbol _ can also be used a the single replacement
character. Fore more examples, see:

Doug,
I had read that using 'Like' is permitted in DAP but I have no idea of
the syntax or even where to place the LIKE statement on the line. I did
read elsewhere that the % is the wildcard character. You wrote that the
'Like' itself follows the field name and that is one part of the puzzle.
I hope someone knows the syntax that follows. Does it end up something
of this sort, "LastName Like '%' '"

I have no idea of how the statement should look.

rs.find "LastName Like '" & CStr(InputBox("Please enter LastName to
find", "Find")) & "'*"

To be honest, I've never worked with DAPs. It's possible you'll need to
use % rather than * (DAO uses * as the wildcard symbol, ADO uses %, and
I'm not sure which method DAPs use)

I have the rs.find working beautifully but want to use 'LIKE' so I
only have to enter the first three or four characters of a LastName to
retrieve the record.

rs.find "LastName = '" & CStr(InputBox("Please enter LastName to
find", "Find")) & "'"

Can someone show precisely how to modify this line using 'LIKE' so it
isn't necessary to type the entire LastName to find the record? I have
messed with this but I have no idea how to do it.
