Thanks. This worked fine. Also, I will check my email client settings as
this is the first time anyone has brought up the HTML issue. Thanks
again.

Your initial post appoears to be in HTML format. As far as I know,
Plain Text format is used in these newsgroups. No big deal... just a
head's up...

Let's say your string is named [Location]
Then...
Like "*" & "Foxmoor" & "*"
or
Like "*Foxmoor*"
would find "Foxmoor" anywhere within [Location].

My reports Record Source has a concatonated field. I need to filter
where my criteria is one of the concatonated items. For example, my
field called Groups may have "Foxmoor, Senior". I need to filter where
the group field contains "Foxmoor". Any suggestions would be
appreciated.
