Hello. I have a strange problem with importing data from an Access Query to Excel. It is working fine as long as I do not use wildcards (like * or ?)as a criteria in my Access Query. If I use wildcards as a criteria my imported data table is blank.

Example:
I can import that:

SELECT PUB_ar_mstr.ar_cust, PUB_ar_mstr.ar_nbr, PUB_ar_mstr.ar_date, PUB_ar_mstr.ar_amt, PUB_ar_mstr.ar_curr, PUB_ar_mstr.ar_due_date
FROM PUB_ar_mstr
WHERE (((PUB_ar_mstr.ar_nbr) Like "33133") AND ((PUB_ar_mstr.ar_date)>=#5/1/2009#) AND ((PUB_ar_mstr.ar_cr_terms)>"0"));

I can NOT import that:

SELECT PUB_ar_mstr.ar_cust, PUB_ar_mstr.ar_nbr, PUB_ar_mstr.ar_date, PUB_ar_mstr.ar_amt, PUB_ar_mstr.ar_curr, PUB_ar_mstr.ar_due_date
FROM PUB_ar_mstr
WHERE (((PUB_ar_mstr.ar_nbr) Like "3313?") AND ((PUB_ar_mstr.ar_date)>=#5/1/2009#) AND ((PUB_ar_mstr.ar_cr_terms)>"0"));

The only difference between these two SQL-Codes is the "?" instead of 3.

Why is the import to Excel affected by that??????????
