Finding Records on Data Access Pages

[Guest]

I'm trying to build some data access pages for use in an intranet situation,
so folks without access can still do simple things like look up phone numbers
for contractors.

But the "Find" function for any field appears to only search the individual
record that is showing at the time. How do I cope with this?

Do I have to build front end forms that will help them search for a specific
record?

Thanks

It's a relatively trivial matter to create a classic ASP page that
points to your Access data. You can use Ctl+F to open the
HTML Find Dialog, which will locate any matching text on the
page and jump there. Does that perhaps work on your DAPs too?

If you want to investigate this, send me an email and I'll forward
you some code for managing an office phone directory with ASP.

Here is a live demonstration of what it would look like ...
