I need to know if you can add video avi files to an access database and then
be able to search them

You can add an AVI file to an OLE Object field using a bound OLE control. To
search, you'd need to use keywords in a description field, or more properly
to use a subtable with a record for each keyword and display that as a
subform.

You could also use a file path in a hyperlink or a text field with a button
set to follow the hyperlink.
