Criteria for Parameter Query

[Guest]

Is there a way to only have to enter partial criteria to make a query run?

For example, If I put [Enter Account Name] in the query criteria and an Account Name is ABC Contracting, is there a way to only have to enter ABC to make this account come up?

I only know of entering the entire name

Use something like this for the query criteria:

Like [Enter Account Name] & "*"

I do not see why not, because if the system needs more information it should
prompt you on it.
