Default Using "Like" to match strings

Trying to match the first 3 letters of a string to a company name and can't
seem to get the syntax correct.

I am using variables to do it which I assume is OK.

The Company name can have spaces in it.

e.g. CAD does not appear in Cadbury.

Is is case sensitive?

Any help or a point in the right direction would be appreciated.

Best Regards

Steve
