Default Implementing the "keyword search" feature in Access

Dear all,

I have a Microsft Access database with all the research capabilities of
professors of a
university. I need to implement a "keyword search" feature in my
welcome page which will actually work like a query generator and search

my entire database for the keyword entered by the user and show up
table/form that has the keyword searched for.


Please let me know as soon as possible.


Thanks ,
geetha

ms-access does not have a keyword search feature. further, it does not have
a text indexing engine either.

So, if you are looking to "search" large amounts of text, then you are using
the WRONG tool....
