Hi,
I am trying to put a very basic search function on a web page. I'm using
access 2000 as the database, and have a memo field I want to search using a
keyword entered via a form.
The problem I'm having is I can't work out the correct syntax for the query.
What I'm trying is the "like" command, and am trying to work the query
below. articletext is a memo field, and querystring is passed from the form
on the search page. What syntax should I use please?
set rsData = con.execute("select topic, title, ID, description, dateno,
linktooriginal, summaryavail from journals where articletext LIKE =
'%"&searchstring&"%' ORDER BY dateno DESC")
Also, are there any tutorials on making a search engine to search memo
fields? Maybe an already made one?
Thanks
David

The specific error I get is:-
Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80040e14'
Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression 'articletext LIKE =
'%medical%''.
/journal/searchdisplay.asp, line 83
I know for a fact there are many entries in the articletext memo field that
contain the keyword "medical"
Thanks
