Hi Lee,
If you have not found/fixed the problem then you
could try using this Query:
SELECT [tblEmployee]![EmployeeID] Like '009*' AS 009_Match, tblEmployee.EmployeeID, Str2Hex([EmployeeID]) AS Hex
FROM tblEmployee;
It will display the EmployeeID as a hex string so
you can see what it really contains.
You will also need this function:
Public Function Str2Hex(pstr As String) As String
' Convert a string to HEX values separated by a "."
' e.g. str2Hex("ABC") returns "41.42.43"
On Error GoTo MyErr
Dim i As Integer
Dim strA As String
For i = 1 To Len(pstr)
strA = strA & "." & Right$("0" & Hex(Asc(Mid(pstr, i, 1))), 2)
Next
Str2Hex = Mid$(strA, 2)
End Function
Regards, Clive.
