It seems impossible to use the SQL "LIKE" operator with ODBC/ACCESS 97.

ie:
$sqlstring = "SELECT Name FROM people WHERE Name LIKE \"A*\"";
$rst=odbc_exec($Conn, $sqlstring);

... may return the following err msg:

Impossible d'utiliser cette expression avec le pr?dicat LIKE. dans l'expression 'Name alike `A*`'

(sorry, it's in french, in english it may look like: Unable to use this expression with operator LIKE in expression 'Name alike `A*`')

What does this "alike" means?

If i echo $sqlstring, cut it and paste it directly to a query in Access, i got no err msg, so it is not a syntax error.
