Can Access 97 emulate Windows Find Command?

Hello,

Can Access 97 emulate Windows Find Command and specifically the
'Containing Text' function?

What we want is for Access to search within and find Word documents on
our networked drives and provide a list of search results - without
having to link all documents of the destination folder/s?

If this is possible, would anyone have any code available or is anyone
aware of a small app that may provide this functionality?

Thank You.

Mark.

You're providing half of the solution. The Dir function allows
iterating over a directory tree. The second half of the solution is to
use the Word object model to open each document found, and perform a
search for the keywords. Type this in a search engine to get started:
CreateObject("W ord.Application ")

I have an Access app that I need to automate in 2 ways: 1. I need to have the app open and print a specific report once each day at a specific time. 2. I need to have the app take the same report, print as a .pdf, and store it in a specific folder. Both things need to happen even if Access is not open on the PC.

In my environment we are using DB2 UDB for Windows for development and DB2 UDB for z/OS for production. In DB2 UDB for z/OS uniqueness of columns that permit nulls may be enforced with a unique index created with the "WHERE NOT NULL" parameter; this has the effect of ensuring that not null columns are unique while not considering null columns to be duplicates. Does anyone know of a way to duplicate this behavior with DB2 UDB for Windows?

The term 'system-wide' just means that click is dealt in whole-screen wide level. Just like the real mouse pointer. What I'd like to do is to emulate mouse move and click. For example, the command is something like "Move the mouse to the 300,400 of the screen and click." I know that I can send mouse clcik message to a specific window using WinAPI. But can't I just emulate 300,400 click of the real screen? I thought that I might need to...
