I have this sample record in my table

LNAME MYNAME
John John
Peter Petera
Alan Wilson

I want to look for data where LNAME<>MYNAME by the first spelling character.
In the above example i wanna get Alan & Wilson. Currrent i used Like A* in
LNAME and Not like A* in MYNAME.

Is there any shorter way to do it...Otherwise i would have to spell from A
to Z

TQ

A criterion on MYNAME of

NOT LIKE Left([LName], 1) & "*"

should do the trick.
