OH man - am I ever having trouble with syntax or how to go about
adding a field to a form to Filter records  with a "like" modifier so
the user doesn't have to type the whole item to bring up Records.

I've got something like this
text field named [select1] which will be used to type in something
like "folder" to bring up all kinds of folders from column [DESCRIPTION]

There's an event behind a button to do the selecting:
HELP - PLEASE!!!
The trouble is (obviously) in the "Else: " line

Private Sub Filter2_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_Filter2_Click

If IsNull(Me.Select1) Then
    Me.FilterOn = False

    Else: Me.Filter = "OfficeFormsSupplies.Description = "LIKE "*" &
[Search Form].[Select1] & "*"""

    Me.FilterOn = True
End If
    

Exit_Filter2_Click:
    Exit Sub

Err_Filter2_Click:
    MsgBox Err.Description
    Resume Exit_Filter2_Click
    
End Sub
