Can anyone tell me how I can configure a search to only
bring up the items with certain words typed. For example:
If I type in the inquiry to retrieve "Group" I want it to
only give me the search items containing that word. I am
trying to make a database for movies as a tutorial for
myself and I want to be able to retrieve movie titles
containing one word or several words. I hope I made myself
clear.

Thanks
Phyllis

You can use a wildcard...so you're search will look
something similar to

Like '*group*'

I'm assuming you're working in a query. If you want
multiple words you can add more conditions.

Like '*group*' or Like '*those*' or Like...etc

Ok, I understand better. The easiest way to do this is to
show the users how to use the built-in filtering option on
the form. They just right-click in the field they're
interested and then type *group* or whatever in
the 'Filter For' box.
