<p class="MsoNormal">I have need to search on multiple fields and the following code works if I have a wildcard in all of the fields. If I take out a wildcard and do not enter anything in that field, the result is nothing found. Probably because the empty
field doesn’t match the database for any entries. So what I would like to do is Make and OR with the field without a wild card and the other fields that have the AND. Hope this makes sense to someone. I credit Dan with the code for the implode clauses and
it works great with the criteria of wild cards or have a pull down in the field that contains all the possible entries. HNUM is the field I would like to not have the wildcard. I have as many as ten fields, but show fewer for this example. THANKS.<o:p></o:p></p>
