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.

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.
