Hello,

I am very green at programming Access but a coworker has
asked me to help her implement a keyword search for her. I
have a text field(edtKeyword), a button(btnFIndWord), and
a listbox(listbox1). I also have set up a parameterized
query, however the query is not exactly handy. How can i
use the three components mentioned above to return the
results of my query? I have no clue where to start with
this? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Brian

hello Brian
one way is to open the query in design view, delete any
parameters you have,
in the criteria of the field corresponding to edtKeyword:
"=Forms!formName!edtKeyword"
and in the criteria of the field corresponding to listbox1:
"=Forms!formName!ListBox1"

then have the button run the query.
good luck
Erez.
