Search Query On 3 Criteria

Hello,

I have a feeling this may be easier than I expect however I am at a standstill.

I have a Query that is called from an unbound list box when data is typed into one or all three unbound txtBoxes "txtLastName" ,"txtFirstName", and "txtVIN" the query populates the listbox almost as it should..

The purpose is to identify duplicate entries based on three critera, last name, first name and VIN with the VIN bieng an execption meaning that if the VIN does not match I still want the matched first and last names to remain in view..

When I open the form where the list and text boxes are all records show in the listbox and as I begin to type the last name all records that do not match that critera are dropped, the same goes for the first name this works great. Once I get to the VIN however if there is no match I loose all three and the listbox is empty.

Is there a way to maintain matched names in the list view eventhough there is no match for the VIN?

Below is the code I am using in the Query Design, it is the same for all three fields Lastname, FirstName and VIN.


Like "*" & [Forms]![frm NewOrderVINVerify]![VinToFindFen] & "*"

Thanks!
