Java MS ACCESS query problem

Question

I have a java program which makes use of ms access as it's database.
I have this query
ResultSet rs = statement.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM table LIKE '*some wordd*'");
if(rs.next())
   System.out.println("There's an output");
else
   System.out.println("Nothing was queried.. what the hell is wrong?");
}As you can see, i'm trying to make use of the LIKE query... Now here's the problem, I dont get any result if the code above gets executed by my java program... BUT, if I copy the SQL statement and PASTE it in MS ACCESS's query section, IT WORKS and something was queried.... now where did I go wrong? does this has something to do with the "*" character on the executeQuery method of statement? Cause "*" is the wild card character for ms access.

Hi it2051229,
Just have a try with the following syntax :
SELECT * FROM table LIKE '%some wordd%'and let us know the result.
