SYMPTOMS
On a Hyperlink field in a Filter By Form, if you use the Like operator with an asterisk (*) as the last character of the lookup value, more records than expected may be returned.
CAUSE
The Filter By Form will append an extra asterisk at the beginning of the
lookup value.
For instance, if you have two records, one with a Hyperlink field of ABC
and another with a Hyperlink field of 123ABC, when you enter Like "ABC*" in the criteria of the Filter By Form, both records will be returned. Filter By Form has changed the criteria to Like "*ABC*".
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
