I'm trying to design a query in Access that will find similar records (not dups). I have two tables with UserIDs. One is the result of a previous query, the other an imported table with UserIDs. The query should compare both tables and identify those where the UserID is the same. My problem is that on one table I have UserIDs, while on the other I have UserIds (plus names). Ex: table1 UserID = SSMITH and table2 UserID = SSMITH (Steve Smith). How do I get Access to ignore the info in parens without having to modify tables?

thx

You'd probably have better luck in the Database Forum.
