Querying keywords in a subform

G

Thanks to the people who have helped me so far I now have my basic image
database up and running - and I'm pretty pleased with myself!

I have added a second table for assigning keywords to each image. The table
has three fields - KeywordID (primarykey, autonumber), PictureID (foreignkey
to field in main table) and
Keyword (text field for keyword). I think this should be OK - at least it
seems to work :)

My problem now is how to query the keywords. I would like to be able to
enter either one word and find all the records that have that word in their
list of keywords or more than one word and find all the records that have
ALL those words in their keyword list. Is this possible? If so, I hope it's
not too hard :) I've been pointed in the direction of
http://www.mvps.org/access/forms/frm0007.htm. If this is what is needed can
anyone talk me through it step by step? One last thought - when querying how
would I enter the search words? Is it possible to have a form to enter the
words into boxes (or similar)?


Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
