Wildcard characters in countif array formulas

anyone know how to get wildcards to work in a countif array formula? Here's
what I"m working with:

{=COUNT(IF((Sales!$G$2:$G$969="ax260*")*(Sales!$J$ 2:$J$969='Rep
Summary'!E5),Sales!B2:B969))}

If I enter a specific value (R600 for example) in the first argument, I get
a solid result. budt adding the wildcard (AX260*) causes a 0 result.

any ideas are greatly appreciated.
