Custom Search Form - 4/26/2003 16:46:04   
Hi,

I have created a two search forms that will allow users query the Database.
The first form is a quick search form which has one text box field. User will be requested to enter key word.

The second form is a an advanced form which will enable users perform a detailed Database search. This form is made up four drop down fields.

My question is how can I get these forms to search a specific Database table)

Regards
Andrew

Hi Andrew, have you looked through the DRW tutorials at www.outfront.net/spooky/ ?
I assume you are using Access / NT server?

Spooky,

Thanks for that. The only two problems I have now are:

1. The search form has text box fields which is not what I am looking for in my advanced search form. My objective is to enable users query the Database by selecting options provided in drop down form fields. How can incorporate drop down fields instead of the text boxes?

2. In two of the drop down fields I would like to include an " All" option. How can I achieve this?

I appreciate your assistance.

Kind regards
Andrew

Normally, youll just create the lists manually.
If need be (depending how long they are!), you can create them using the DRW, which can be resource intensive. However, run a query once, copy the source code will give you the source for a complete listbox.

To get an " all" function, you would add a selection to the listbox with the wildcard (%) as the value.
The SQL string would need to use " LIKE" for those columns to utilize that wildcard
