Simple query to return records matching a word in a text string

[Guest]

How do I design a query to return records for example, a specific town or
state, where the complete address information is contained in a text string.

123 Airport Ave, Spokane, WA. (example) - So I want all the records with
spokane in a query result.

Use the LIKE operator. E.g. (find WA states)

SELECT ...
FROM ...
WHERE Address Like "* WA*"

Note the wildcard characters before & after the "search-for" string.
Read the Access Help articles on wildcard characters - probably in the
Help article on "LIKE."
