I am curious to know if there is someone out there that may be able to help me with select statements. I have a good idea of what I am doing. However this one I cannot figure out. Here it is!

I am opening a Form, Placing an ADO Data Control on the form. I set up the file I wish to access and set my OLE DB Provider to JET 3.51, Change cursor type to adOpenDymanic, set CommandType to adCommandText, and in the RecordSource I place this:
SELECT * FROM Inventory WHERE User like 'p*'

If i am looking for something with a "p" as in "public" in the database, the search does not find.

But, if I type "public" instead of "p*" the search will return the value that I wish

I would like to mention that when using the VisiData Manager the search works, but for some reason it won't when inside my application


Thank you to all who can help,
