How can i modify it so that the user can enter 145*

On Error GoTo Err_Command3_Click
If IsNull(Me.TWO) = True Then
Responce = MsgBox("Enter a Work Order Number", vbCritical, " UMCI")
Me.TWO.SetFocus
Exit Sub
End If

sqlString = "SELECT count(*) as CC FROM WORKORD WHERE MTWO_WIP_WOPRE = " &
Me.TWO
CurrentDb.QueryDefs("DBA").SQL = sqlString

If DLookup("[CC]", "DBA") >= 1 Then
GetData (Me.TWO)

Use LIKE in your SQL. Look it up in Access Help.
You will need your function to accept a string ending in an asterisk.
