Global Search/Find: Return all rows containing a given string

9 New Member
I have issues database that utilizes two forms. One for provides a read only issues/task list and another form for add/update of issues. I'd like to be able to add an search text box to the summary form that will return each row/issue that contains the string entered by the user.

Platform: Windows XP
Language: Access/VB

This is not nearly enough information. We need to know how you want to display these records, when you want this to happen, and what tables/fields are involved.

It would also help to know what you have tried to far.

But on a general note, have you tried a query using the Like comparison operator?

I have a vb.net windows app that connects to an access database. The database has 1 table. One of the columns is called "Address". A user enters any address into a textbox (txtValue) then clicks the Find button (cmdFind) and a datagrid displays all the rows with this address. The problem is that it will only find the the address if the user types it exactly as it's entered the the DB. For example: the address column has 123 Anystreet Rd....

Windows has a search command to find files containing a given string. Makes me wonder if there is some Windows API or managed method to programmatically search a directory tree for files containing a given string. Thanks in advance

Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
