Your SQL statement works for me as printed (I created a database to test
it). What is the exact error message you are getting?

strSQL = "SELECT Value FROM " & strTable & _
" WHERE PageRef LIKE '??10'"

What is wrong with my snytax? I've created a macro to
retrieve info from an Access table. Here is the query
passed to the connection object:

strSQL = "SELECT value FROM " & strTable & " WHERE
PageRef LIKE '??10'"
