Searching for text in a field 1

[mrasad]

Dear Tek-Tips,

I'm in the process of creating an access database, but I have a problem. My friend who wants to use the database wants to enter a description into a field, maybe a memo box. The description will include words that the user of the system would like to search for, possibly, three or three words at a time.

Is this possible? If so, how can I do it?

Take a look at the Like operator in SQL.

Hope This Helps, PH.
