I have two separate queries on an Access form. A Company Name Query and a Contact Query.
I need one Search box that would Search both queries for the Company Name and then display
the results in both queries. See below for an example of what the queries look like.
Company Name # Quotes Company Name Contact Last Call Notes
BAE Systems 20 BAE Systems Inc. John Henry 4/1/20 Please quote
Synqor 35 Synqor Company Paul Smith 4/8/20 Product Talk
BAE Company Roger Adam 4/2/20 Specs
The challenge is that there is NO exact match between any fields in these two queries. Ultimately,
I would like to search the Company Name field as a "Like" statement and in the above example if
the user entered BAE the queries would display separately as shown below:
Company Name # Quotes Company Name Contact Last Call Notes
BAE Systems 20 BAE Systems Inc. John Henry 4/1/20 Please Quote

If this can be done, I need to know what SQL "Contains' or "Like" statement is as I am
not an Access Programmer.
Thank you in advance for any help!!
