By "no records are returned" do you mean you are trying to SELECT from an access database? Copy/paste in an example of something that's not working for you, along with what versions of these you are using: Perl DBI DBD::ODBC(?) - which DBD module are you using to access "Access"?

If I remove the number and there are records in the file that match the remaining characters then records are returned. I can go into Access and use the same string and the search works.
