Thanks again guys, for your recent assistance. Now as you were so kind to
assist the first time (the solution was so simple and elegant) I was
wondering if you could assist with another couple of problems I am faced
with.
Problem 1
I have a memo field called NOTES in my database and I have constructed
various queries so the user can search this NOTES memo field for any
freetext held within it. As this memo field has large chunks of text inside
it, the search results are not easy to find, do you know how I can turn the
search result on the form into a hi-lighted result? and with every other
occurrence to be highlighted as well in this NOTES field, on the current
record and any subsequent records the query would find?
Example of my Criteria in the Query:
Like "*" & [Search NOTES for the following ] & "*"
Problem 2
I have one main table with a a few other tables, all linked together with
under a URN (Unique Ref No) e.g., How can I create a query on my Search form
that will search or filter out, say an address or telephone number from the
relevant Subform and display the result (possibly hi-lighted) in the Form
InputRecords?
Tables
Table - InputRecords
Table - InputRecordsAddr
Table - Input RecordsTelNos
Table - Input RecordsPersonalDetails
Forms
Form - MainMenu
Form - InputRecords
Form - SubformAddr
Form - SubformTelNos
Form - SubformPersonalDetails
Form - Searching
Any and all assistance will of course be received with the greatest of
appreciation from this novice bottom rung amebia MSAccess developer can
summon.
