This code will search a column called product_desc for any values that contain the word "electronic" VB.NET: Me.OleDbSelectCommand.CommandText = "SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE firstname LIKE '%electronic%'" However, lets say you wanted to return words that started with a certain letter(s), your query would be VB.NET: SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE column_name LIKE 'b%' Any word in column_name that began with a b would be extracted. On the other hand, if you wanted to return words that ended with a certain letter your query would be VB.NET: SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE column_name LIKE '%t' For example that query would return words like: cat, hat and flat Hope This Helps Upvote 0 Downvote
