Microsoft access

When conducting a word search from a search form. How would I highlight on the results form where that search word was found in a block of text

RE: Microsoft access

Hi Colin,

Thank you for your question and welcome to the forum.

Can you please explain what type of search form you are using and what type of object you are searching on(Query etc.).

Is it the Edit-Find dialogue box or have you created a form from scratch?

Regards

Simon

RE: Microsoft access

Hi Colin,

Thank you for your question.

As we discussed on the course this question is beyond the scope of the forum as it would require VBA development time.

Regards

Simon

Access tip:

Choosing data types in Access

Not sure which data type to use for your Access fields? Here are some guidelines to help you choose a data type to assign to a field.

- The Text data type can accept up to 255 characters. For information that will be recorded in paragraphs, use Memo.

- Also use Text for numbers that aren't going to be used in calculations, e.g. phone numbers.

- Use the Currency data type for monetary amounts.

- Use Date/Time for dates.

- Most other numbers can use the Number data type, but the Field Size property may have to be altered.

- For fields that have only two alternatives (yes, no) use Yes/No data type. If there is likely to be a third entry option (e.g. maybe or don't know) use Text instead.
