retrieve records from a table based on a portion of text

[Guest]

I would like to retrieve records where the Field 2 item contains a "2:" in
it's text.

This should be simple, but it's been too long since I've done. Do I use
criteria or filter in Access?

[Field2] like "*2*"

In the Criteria row of your query, enter:
Like "*2:*"
