    Posted: 12 July 2004 at 1:54am

I'm making a drug store, and I want to make a search using these criteria: Search for Drugs that:
1- Exact Match
2- Any
3- Begins With

QLSpecial = "SELECT DrugName FROM DrugTable WHERE "
IF Request("How") = "Any" Then QLSpecial = QLSpecial & "DrugName LIKE '%" & Request("Search")& "%'"
IF Request("How") = "Exact" Then QLSpecial = QLSpecial & "DrugName = '" & Request("Search")& "'"
IF Request("How") = "Begins" Then QLSpecial = QLSpecial & "DrugName ????????????????????????"

How can I search for results that Begins with somthing?

btw. it's Access Database.

thank you.

First off, the ANY will not work properly as you want the customer to be able to search for any 1 work that matches, so if I search for 'Aspirin Capsules' and only Aspirin exists, it should still return a match, now to do that in access you may have to split the search at every space and loop through to construct your sql statement.

To do a Begins with you simply do a
& "Drugname LIKE '" & Request("Search") & "%'"
just to leave out the % in the beginning....

Another note, don't use Request use Request.Query or .Form to limit vulnerabilities.
