<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
For VB6.0 enterprise, win95<br />
<br />
My SQL search criteria is ...<br />
&quot;SELECT * FROM tableName &quot;<br />
&quot;abName LIKE ' &quot;&nbsp;&amp; sTarget &amp;&nbsp;&quot;' &quot;<br />
<br />
When sTarget = *kim*, the VB will get all abName with 'kim' match.<br />
e.g. pkimk, kimkk, pkim, kim, ...so forth.<br />
<br />
This supposed work fine. But after I change my coding into ADODB to support client/server for ODBC 32bit. <br />
The VB will take '*kim*' as search target instead of 'kim'.<br />
<br />
Please advise.

LIKE '*target*' not match

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
