Searching Word Documents

[Les]

Is there a way of coding a button so I can use it to search the contents of
documents.

The documents are CV's which are held in C:\CV Documents directory.

It would be ideal to be able to type the search criterea into a field on my
form.

Hi,

You'll want to use Word automation from Access for this
task. Once you establish a Word pointer to your document,
you can do something like the following example:

oAppWordPointer.Documents.Open ("C:\CV.doc")
With oAppWordPointer
With .Selection.Find
.Text = "Calvin Smith"
.Forward = True
.Wrap = wdFindContinue
End With
End With
