Create a list filtered by keyword

M

MikeL

I have created an Access database of all the documents in our library. I need
to give our patrons the option to use a keyword to create a list of only the
documents that have the Keyword in the title.

Also is there a way for Access to do a keyword search inside docs? (word,
TextPDF, Etc..)

Use this as criteria for title in your query --
Like "*" & [Enter key word] & "*"

Instead of searching the title some folks include a key word field that
contains words not in the title as many titles do not convey much of the
subject matter content. Use the title plus all other words like species
names, chemical names and families, locations, etc.
