Access 97 Multilist Query

Tags: multilist, 97, access
I have an Access 97 database which I am using to collect survey information. My questions are mostly Multiselect list boxes and I am using the following code to enter the selections into one field. For example Question number 1 is: Select your favolrite colors?
Private Sub Q1_AfterUpdate()

Dim strColors As String
Dim varItem As Variant
strColors = ""
With Q1
   For Each varItem In .ItemsSelected
       strColors = strColors & .Column(0, varItem) & ","
   Next varItem
   
   strColors = Left$(strColors, Len(strColors) - 1)

    Text22.Value = strColors
End With

End Sub

So now, I have the data one field. My question is how can I run a query that contains only one of the selections. For example if I want to find the users with "blue color as their favorite. However, since there are multiple values in a field, if I don't write all the values then the user won't come up. Please let me know how this is possible. Let me know if you need more clarification
