OleDbCommand DELETE WHERE LIKE
I am writing a vb.Net subroutine that is supposed to delete records from a database if the field "File" partially matches something. Here is my code:
sql = "DELETE * FROM `Call Log` WHERE File LIKE '*test.wav' AND Protect = False"
cstring = "Provider=Microsoft.JET.OL
Dim conn As OleDbConnection = New OleDbConnection(cstring)
conn.Open()
Dim cmd As OleDbCommand = New OleDbCommand(sql, conn)
If (cmd.ExecuteNonQuery() = 1) Then
'Perform other things
End If
conn.Close()
The problem is that this code isn't working. Please help.

That was it. I was using the '*' instead of the '%' for the wildcard. Thanks for the simple correction.
