adding a concatenated field in an SQL query breaks LIKE

[Peter Haworth]

Thanks, our posts crossed.

Still confused though.  There is no "$" wildcard available for the LIKE
operator, only "%" and "_"

One other possibility.  It seems the LIKE operator has problems with
non-ASCII characters - any chance asset includes some, perhaps accented
characters?
