A search query using VB

[Cheeese]

Hello All,
I need to search a particular keyword in a SQL database using VB6. I found that the asterix (*) does not work for the query and the record list obtained is empty. Here is the query I entered,

Sql = "Select table.name,tabl e.number from table where (((table.name) Like '*Eng*')) ;"

Set Rs = Con.Execute(Sql )

When con and rs are the connection and record set respectively.

The query works fine without the * symbol , but I only get an exact match. I need to find all entries which contain words beginning with the keyword. Please help.
