Hi could anyone let me know how I can add a serach function to my ASP site...I would like it to search my Access dB with whatever the user enters...what is the best way to go about doing this?? Any help would be great...

Another way is by book.

Beginning ASP Databases and ASP 3.0 from Scratch are great for search forms. They helped me.
 
Also, you can't search your Access DB this way, but if you are using an IIS server with an Index Server you can implement an IIS search of your website. There is a folder in your IIS web area called samples with an entire sample website devoted to teaching you to use IIS features. It uses a search.htm (can be an ASP page) search.htx and a search.idq plus an index server. You could just do a file search on your server for those files.

Note that this will not search your database. You have to do that buy yourself, but you could combine the two to create a full site search. Harold Blackorby
