Access dynamic Query

I need an example of how to create a dynamic query in MS Access. The query will have one parameter that is passed in that needs to be appended to the where clause. I want the parameter to contain a long string that has many conditions not just a single value. I will be calling this query from a vb.net app and passing the string as parameter. I will not be using the Access object to control Access.
