<div>
<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
Here is the statement:<br />
<br />
dbMembers.RecordSource = &quot;select * from Members Where Name like 'Lea%'&quot;<br />
dbMembers.Refresh<br />
<br />
I have a table of Members, I want the user to be able to enter a name to search for, and all matches to be displayed on a flexgrid I have in my project bound to this database, unfortunatly while testing with the above lines of code I find it does not work, I have the database and in it under the Name field in the Members table is the name Leanne Stockwell, but the SQL above brings up a blank recordset?<br />
<br />
I have even tried replacing 'Lea%' with '%e%' AND STILL I GET A BLANK RECORDSET???<br />
<br />
According to every SQL and Visual Basic SQL tutorial I could find the above statement 'should' work, is there something i'm doing wrong here?<br />
<br />
I thank you all in advance for any light you can shed on this problem !!<br />
<br />
Please note: if I execute the code with just &quot;select * from Members&quot; as the recordsource I get the whole database displayed in the FlexGrid, so I KNOW I havnt done anything wrong with the data control itself.<br />

Visual Basic SQL Statement not working

Most development for the Microsoft platform is done utilizing the technologies supported by the.NET framework. Other development is done using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) for programs like Access, Excel, Word and Outlook, with PowerShell for scripting, or with SQL for large databases.

Microsoft Development

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.
