Exclude not working

I'm trying to exclude the name of 1 physician from a list of many physicians.
I have tried <> and Not like Dr John Doe. With either, I still am getting Dr
John Doe in the list.

I'm sorry, but you're way over my head. I was putting <> under criteria in a
query window.
 
Open the query in design view. Select View... SQL from the menu. Copy and
paste the text (all of it) into a message here.

We can't see your screen and have no idea what your table or your query looks
like.
 
Here's the SQL:

SELECT DISTINCTROW [RESIDENT ADMIT INFO].SSN, [RESIDENT ADMIT
INFO].PrintedName, DOCTORS.[Last Seen], DOCTORS.[Due Date], DOCTORS.AptDate,
DOCTORS.Notes, [RESIDENT MEDICAL INFO].Physician
FROM ([RESIDENT ADMIT INFO] INNER JOIN [RESIDENT MEDICAL INFO] ON [RESIDENT
ADMIT INFO].SSN = [RESIDENT MEDICAL INFO].SSN) INNER JOIN DOCTORS ON
[RESIDENT ADMIT INFO].SSN = DOCTORS.SSN
WHERE ((([RESIDENT MEDICAL INFO].Physician)<>"Dr. Don Rutherford DO"))
ORDER BY DOCTORS.[Due Date];
 
As an experiment try changing the criteria to
NOT LIKE "*rutherford*" and see if that excludes the record.

If it does then try
Like "*Rutherford*"
and examine the record(s) closely to see if there is an extra space in the
physician field or no period after Dr. or other difference in the name.
