I am trying setting a TADOTables fileter to [name="wi*"] and expect a
folowing call to FindFirst to find the first entry with a name matching the
mask Wi... will or wilma or whatever is there and comes first. It doesnt
move to any entry though. If i set the mask to "Will" then it will go to an
entry with name Will.
The help says that wildcards can be used, but for some reason it doesnt work
for me.


I thought it could have something to do with the cursor type which is
ctStatic. I cant change it though. If i change it to ctDynamic and then set
the table active, it goes right back at ctStatic. I dont know if that has
anything to do with it though.

Can someone explain to me how i find the first record with name matching
"something*"?
