I'm trying to build a SSRS report with an MSAccess datasource.

Well, I need one of the parameters to be a wildcard so user's can type in text and get any results that have that portion of text in the field.

How can I do a wildcard with a parameter??

Since it's MSAccess, I have to use ? as my parameter, but If I do this: AND (Comments LIKE '%?%')
Then I just get every entry that has a literal "?" in the text.


Any thoughts?
