NotesSQL - "%" Wildcard not working.... Need Assistance

I wrote my SQL Query and I am using the “%” wildcard and I do not think it is working properly. My query looks like this.

stSQL = “SELECT * FROM ““Activity Report”” WHERE NameLast = '” & searchVal & “'”

Which produces this when executed: SELECT * FROM “Activity Report” WHERE NameLast = ‘D%’

But when I get down to Do While Not adoRst.EOF it is already set to “True” and then steps out of the while loop.

If I run this query: stSQL = “SELECT * FROM ““Activity Report””” Do While Not adoRst.EOF is “False” and to loops through every record and displays them correctly.

Anybody see any reason why the wildcard does not work?

Any help with this would be grealy appreciated.

Below is my code for clicking the search button and getting the data.

Private Sub butSearch_Click()

If ufDBLookup.txtLName.Value = “” Then

        MsgBox "You must enter a last name.", vbOKOnly, "No Name entered"

        Exit Sub

End If

Call GetData(“person_last_name”, ufDBLookup.txtLName.Text & “%”)

End Sub

Private Sub GetData(searchField As String, searchVal As String)

Hi, Try to use LIKE not =.

… WHERE NameLast LIKE ‘D%’ …

“LIKE” did not work either. I am still stumped on what the problem is. I am sure it is something simple that I am overlooking but have yet to figure it out.
