Basic sql statement

new to sql, cant stand it - and dont want to learn anymore than i have to. i have a feeling that this is a very basic concept i am trying to accomplish.

trying to setup a simple web search form through asp, all of the asp stuff is already set

there are 4 input fields, i am trying to combine into an sql statement. any one of the fields can have a blank "" value during the query, using a % as the item value doesn't seem to work when passed through asp....

Basically i need the select statement to return a row matching all of the parameters, or otherwise omitting the parameters that do not have a value.

this is what i came up with in asp, and it only works properly when all fields are specified.

Recordset1.Source = "SELECT * FROM dbo.Residential$ WHERE ([area name] LIKE " & "'" & area & "'" & ") OR (subtype LIKE " & "'" & ptype & "'" & ")" & " OR ([list price] BETWEEN " & "'" & p1 & "'" & "AND" & "'" & p2 & "'" & ")"

so if the passed asp variable is "" (empty) i would like the statement to omit it.

any thoughts?
