filters in forms

[sally]

hello access mayvens,

when filtering in forms, i generally search for a single
word, or string of a few words, in a field marked "text"
in memo format; there is often a lot of text in that field
so when the record comes up, it's a rather arduous process
to locate the particular word i'm searching for.

is there any way to get the program to highlight the text
that i'm searching for in the form?

thanx,

sally

If you SetFocus to the memo field, you could use Instr() to locate the word,
and SelStart and SelLength to select it.
