Question using LIKE in order to search problem

hi All.
I'll be brief. I am trying to make a search on my database using the "LIKE" and also a parameter.my Quary looks like this - select * From table where info Like '%'+?+'%'( the ? is for the parameter). whenever i put a string in the parameter' all working fine, but if i put nothing- leave it blank, i get All the records, which is the Opposite of what i need, if i leave it blank, i should get Nothing!! why is that? and how can i overcome this problem? maybe using a stored procedure will help, just tell me what to write in!!

Thanks

Ofir

Why not just fix your application so that if the value of the parameter is null, then don't call the query at all.
