I wish to set up an Access database that will allow users to enter words or
phrases and have the database return the list of records that match the word
or pharase. I then want the user to be able to select one of the records and
then link to another document (the document could be a word document, an
excel document, a PDF file, a JPEG file etc.). How can I set this up?
 
What approaches have you tried so far? How much thought have you put
into your project?

Being a complete beginner in Access, I was not even sure where to start. I
can create a table, and I think I understand how to put a hyperlink into the
table. Making the data "searchable" is my biggest challenge. I would
appricate any guidance you could give me.
