Hi there I know there's probably a really simple answer to this but I can't see it for looking. I've made an ODBC connection to a Access 97 database and am trying to run the following query: select ph_user, ph_location, ph_directno, ph_extension, ph_mobile_ext from tblPhone where ph_user matches '*John*' order by 1 but get the following error: Error, sql.error: ('37000', -3100, "[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access 97 Driver] Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression 'ph_user matches '*John*''.") Ideally, I would like to be able to search against a table for ph_user using their first name only and return all the other fields. Would appreciate any advice. We're using Zope 1.10.3 Thanks Jenny
