Question : Access Search Form

I am creating a search form that looks up data in a query to display.
I have not had trouble with this in the past, using "*" & [formfield] & like "*"
However, with this form, I need it to pick up only either an exact number from certain fields or return all values if the field is blank.  So, if a "2" is entered, I don't want it to return "12" or "21" but only "2"...this is my problem with using the wildcard here...but I was trying to use a wildcard in case the field is left blank.
The query is exclusive, so data picked up in two of the fields will only return records that meet both of those criteria.
I'm putting all of this in the query criteria for each field and requerying the form on Search.
I thought of having a bunch of complicated stuff like invisible asterisks in the fields that get populated, etc, but I thought someone would have a nice, good, solution instead.  I looked at some other solutions, but didn't see what I need.
Thanks!!!

"'use " no it is not a part, it is an instruction for what to use in the query

try using this in the query designer grid

Field name     Field1
Table            TableX


criteria       iif([Forms]![NameOfForm]![FormField] is null,[Field1],[Forms]![NameOfForm]![FormField])
