Help with setting an action using the Wildmatch function

Hi, can anyone help me with this?

I am trying to set an action to select data within a field (Narrative) using the wilmatch function.

What i want is when the user clicks on a Goods Received button, any narrative with 'Goods*' will be selected.

I have tried using the SELECT IN FIELD option, and choosing Narrative for the field, and the search string....

=WildMatch(Narrative,'Goods*')
but i can't get it to work, What am i doing wrong?

I have attached a sample

I can't believe it was that easy!! Thanks very much I thought it would have had to be an expression using Wildmatch!

Thanks again.
