In Access 97 code module, how do I write a routine to search for a specific
string on a text file?

An external .txt file?

Use File... Get External Data... Link to link the file as if it were a
table, and create a Query to search it. Just how the query would look
will depend on the structure of the table - just one field? searching
for exact matches or embedded text? etc.
