    Thanks for the offer Stek but you're ok - the pictures are probably not on here for a jolly good reason As for the rest of your message - huh?????

    Yes, I am also a kitten lover (unless I've missed something and it's a euphemism for something dodgy) and thanks for your help - is all sussed now and my sanity (such as it is) is restored

    maybe?? Just a guess, I honestly don't know, but that would seem to tally the ' and " together.
    Faqqer you are completely wonderful - thanks a lot

    Not used Access for over a decade (use SQL Server), but quick guess: you need to swap * with % ? Oh and last bit:

    & " % ' "

    Is coming up with a syntax error but can figure it out - obviously have a ' or a " in the wrong place somewhere
