>Hello,

>I am trying to call a stored procedure on a SQL Server 7.0 database. The procedure accepts a parameter called name. The procedure uses a select to return records, the select statement is based on the parameter passed. If I pass part of a name (ex: Jim) the procedure returns 0 records. If I pass a full name (ex: Mr. Jim Rieck) I get one record back. The code is below, any ideas?
