Wild Card

Guest

I have the user use a form to set the criteria for a like query. I would like
to let the user leave a field blank. How would I put in the wild card. Here
is the code I use now.

[Forms]![Qtr Loss LookUp FM]![Loss FY]

I did add & "*" to the end and it did not work.

You're very close. It should be:

Like [Forms]![Qtr Loss LookUp FM]![Loss FY] & "*"
