How to compare two strings and return 'true' if similar in MS Access

Asked by PopoDi in Microsoft Access Database, SQL Query Syntax

Tags: , ,

Is there a sql statement that will let me compare two fields in a MS Access table in such a way that I get 'true' if the two strings are similar? The two strings have to match up in the first 3 characters and also in the characters at the end of the string that come after a hyphen. E.g. 12ABC-123A is similar to 12A-123A (there can be 1 to 5 characters after the hyphen).Start Free Trial
