 Search in Outlook 98/2000 using wildcards in VB6

I'm new to the Outlook data model. I found the
Items.Restrict method, but it only lets me use the =, <>,
Quote:
>, <, >=, <=. Can I do a wildcard search? Is there a

keyword like 'Contains'? Can I use a * or even a '?' There
must be some way....

Thanks!

No, you can't do a wildcard or contains or "like" search with Find or
Restrict. Outlook 2002 provides this capability, however, through its Search
object.

Thanks, Sue. At least I didn't spend a week trying to find
it.   :{)
