    (question mark) Wildcard for a single character.  Used in combination with LIKE.  | 
 
    LIKE  | 
    Combine with a string and one or more wildcard characters to find all values with string. For example: [Product Line] LIKE *enti?m* returns records where the Product Line field contains the string enti?m such as The Pentium I Line and Pentiums.  |

    Combine with a string and one or more wildcard characters to find all values without string.  | 
 
    EXISTS  | 
    Finds a value from a multivalue group. EXISTS also finds values in any child of the MVG. For example: EXISTS ([Product Component] = 4 Meg Ram) returns records in which attribute Product Component (an MVG) referred to is a child record with the value 4 Meg Ram.  |
