I have a list with some records that start with *. I would like to exclude
these from the list with a query. I have tried Not Like '~*%' but it does
not exclude the records. Does anyone have a suggestion for me.

Hi Steve
use an auxiliar column with this formula
=if(lefet(a2,1)="*",mid(a2,2,255),a2)

Thanks for your help but I am trying to accomplish this with query so I don't
have to manipulate the table each time I re run the query.
