I have an Access 2000 database with a number of records with "xxx?" in one of the fields. I'm trying to filter for the records that contain only a ? at the end. Since "?" is a special character, how do I contruct the filter to treat the "?" as text?

Many Thanks,

Donf

p.s. I did spend a half hour using the search feature in this forum. No results

This is really better answered at Tek-tips.com, since their charter is computer software and hardware questions.

IRstuff,

Thank you. I'll try there.

I found the answer, and wanted to share it.

Surround the special character with []. In my case it would be: *[?]*.

Thanks to those who offered advice.
