Default How do I make a search form??

Can I setup up a "search engine" so to speak that will search through a list of topics contained in my database?

I have a database setup with a "library" of resources I have. I have a topics entry form that allows me to enter topics that certain recources may cover.... and there are multiple topics with the same title. For example, I may have a number of resources that are related to one particular topic.

Can I setup a "search form" that allows me to enter a word (i.e. a topic) and will search a particular field for that topic and all associated resources related? I know how to query, but wasn't sure how I would set it up without having to re run query for new infomation every time.

Thanks,
Scott

Hi Scott,

Unfortunately, Microsoft Access has very limited full text capabilities. If
you move your data to SQL Server, you can use more powerful full text
capabilities.
