Using RowFilter and getting this error Missing operand after ''%we%'' operator.

I am trying to filter a dataview, say i have an item in a column called weebles I want to be able to pull it up in the filter by just typing in a search box we and just looking for a part of a string not the whole string

for some reason i keep getting this error
An unhandled exception of type 'System.Data.SyntaxErrorException' occurred in system.data.dll

Additional information: Syntax error: Missing operand after ''%we%'' operator.


This is the code i am using
dv1.RowFilter = ComboBox1.Text & "LIKE'%" & TextBox1.Text & "%'AND LocationNo = " & CStr(loc)

I am only returning exact matches, what i want to get back is everything with a WE in it for instance if there was an item that said weebles and another that was weezer i want to return both of them by typing WE in the textbox1.
nevermind fixed my own problem thanks for the help
just increasing the points so that i can give you both some.  Thanks for the alternate coding method i didn't know you could do it that way.
