Default Cannot Get SQL Query to Work with "LIKE"

Excel 2003. I have a module that grabs some data from an SQL database using
an ADODB connection. If I use the following in the SQL query, it returns no
data:

(WHERE INVOICENUMBER LIKE 'MS*')

However, if I use the following, I get all the data I expect:

(WHERE INVOICENUMBER='MS' AND INVOICENUMBER<='MS9999999999999')

What am I doing wrong? How may I properly use the LIKE phrase? Thanks for
any help.
