well thats it Ive come to the conclusion that its a driver/lib issue.
From what I can see mdbtools lib only reads and only does basic select.
(eg Select * from table where col =thistext But not tex* % or date.
Also looks like the project has died (think the last release was 2004 or
so.) Thought I would give odbtp ago but cant get that to make. aargghh
I give up.

$conn=odbc_connect("Database","",""); works
$a = "abcd"; (this value exists in db)

$qry = odbc_exec($conn,$stat);

The above works as I expect it to.(Returns 70 rows)
If I now want to add a where clause
$stat = "SELECT * FROM " . '"Table Name"' . " Where " . '"Column
Name" =
" . $a; (This works)
Now the place I fall into the abyss.
if I change WHERE clause in $stat to
" WHERE " . '"Column Name"' LIKE abc* (or other variations like abc%
"abc%" "abc*" 'abc%' 'abc*')
All I end up with is a blank page or Warning odbc_result_all No tuples
available at this result index.
Also I'm having trouble working out how to use a date in the WHERE
clause.
I've tried #yy-mm-dd# yy-mm-dd* dd/mm/yy etc etc (oh and yy/mm/dd
00:00:00
etc
I realize this is probably more odbc/sql related but after a lot of
goggling and reading I havent found the answer (about 5 days so far)
As the data seems to be text based, you need to quote it
WHERE " . '"Column Name"' LIKE 'abc%'

Cat, the other other white meat
sorry, missed the access dates...
try mm/dd/yyyy as the format
Unfortunately thats the first thing I thought of. I've tried every
variation of quote I could think of. Can anyone tell me how to log what
the odbc connection is actually sending/receiving? (as opposed to just
echoing the sql statement I 'think' its sending.
