How to construct SQL SELECT statement

I want to search an entire table for a particular keyword but i'm not sure how, if the keyword was TEST then I want to return rows where any of the fields contain TEST, THIS IS A TEST, PLEASE TEST THIS etc etc i.e. the keyword can be anywhere in the fields value

I believe I need to use the LIKE clause but i'm not sure how.

Thanks

BenSelect * From Table Where Field Like '%' + sSearch.Replace("'","''") + '%'|||Hi Ben,

You're right, you can use the LIKE clause,
E.g.
SELECT * FROM Students WHERE StudentName LIKE '%NEW%'

Then the matched records include: HAPPY NEW YEAR and ASP.NEW :)

If I wanted to apply the search to more than one fields could I use

SELECT * From Students WHERE StudentName, Field2, Field3, Field4 LIKE '%NEW%'

Is that the correct syntax?

Ben|||Hi,

You may try:

SELECT *
From Students
WHERE StudentName LIKE '%NEW%' OR
 Field2 LIKE '%NEW%' OR
 Field3 LIKE '%NEW%' OR
 Field4 LIKE '%NEW%'
