Help building an Access Database Search Engine

[Sparkles]

Would anyone be able to suggest how to build a search engine in Access 2003?
I will have information and images that will need to be able to do keyword
searches to pull the information up. This has the same concept as EBSCOHost
or a card catalog. Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

shame and will solicit even though he has been told NUMEROUS times that this
newsgroup is for FREE support!

Sounds like you are looking for an image database... Here are a few sites
with some samples...

Hi Sparkles,

I have several QBF (Query by Form) samples available for download, ranging
from very simple to more complex:

Easiest--very little VBA code. Includes Word doc. written by Michael
Hernandez:

Fairly easy--demonstrates "iterating" the .ItemsSelected property of a
multi-select list box:

A bit more complex

See the download "Query By Form"

Here is an image database sample, but it does not currently include QBF
functionality:

Special Note to Steve Santus:
You do NOT have permission to use any of my samples in your business (just
in case you had that idea).
