Angry How do you filter '*' from Access 2000
In Access 2000, how do you make access not expect * as an input for a query.

I need to ensure data integrity and if a user can enter * as an input then they will be writing to all the entries instead of one.

These type of queries are not able to filter *, I still get all of the records:
INSERT INTO info_add_pc ( info_add )
SELECT pc.compn
FROM pc
WHERE (((pc.compn)<>'*' And (pc.compn) Like ["Enter in the computer name "]));

WHERE (((pc.compn)<>'**' And (pc.compn) Like ["Enter in the computer name "]));

These two are some of the ones that doesn't except *, but it doesn't except any input, meaning I don't get any output:
WHERE (((pc.compn) Like ["Enter in the computer name "] And NOT '*'));

WHERE (((pc.compn) Like ["Enter in the computer name "]) AND (('!*')=False));

Can you give an example in this code. I've tried entering it in already, but it didn't work.

WHERE (((pc.compn) <> '/*' And (pc.compn) Like ["Enter in the computer name "]));

No it didn't work. I have created and a recovery system though if anyone uses *. It is not the best solution, but it is a solution.

Thanks for your help though.
