How would this work to exclude it. I have tried <"=1~*" but it doesn't
seem
to work.

Use this as criteria

="=1~*"

will only find 1*

thanks for this, however this will find 1*xxxx, how do you check for a
space
after the *.

I need to do a DCOUNTA on a field looking for value 1*

How do I do this when 1* is a wildcard ?
