    Hyperlink fields returning 1 funny character

    I'm querying a field in a customer table that contains customer email addresses. The output does not return the hyperlinks actually in the customer table though. Instead, I get a singular foreign character of unknown origin. How come this is happening? What can I do to fix this? Thank you!

    Is this the 'right' design? (table w/o PK and multi relationships)

    The various containers (etc jar)and types (meat) are not unique in any table. The productID in the Products table features different spellings of potentially identical products from distributor reports I receive. (i.e. Apple Bag- 16 Count; Large Apple Bag). These productIDs are unique, but both...

    Is this the 'right' design? (table w/o PK and multi relationships)

    1 unit is some combination of container & type could be a jar of fruits, or a bag of meat. I might charge Johnny Distributor $5 for a jar of fruits, but charge Mick the Distributor $7 for a jar of fruits.

    is it possible?: show similar matches as one string

    Let's say I have a customer table. When I query multiple names using wildcards, I'd like to group the matches together rather than show each distinct match. i.e. criteria:"*Jim*" or "*Bob*" Result: Jimmy, Jimbo, Jimmo, Bob, Bobby, Bobo Desired Result: Jim, Bob Is such a thing possible?

    is it possible?: edit values in a make table query

    Let's say I wanted to make a table from an existing table. In the new table, I'd like all the records from the existing table, except I'd like to supplement them with one asterisk in the beginning of the value and one asterisk at the end. Is this possible to do within a Make Table query? Thanks!
