search query

Hi!
Could anyone please help with a search query!
I am creating a query which searches the records from one particular date to other with respect to a category.
And also i have other fields which needs to searched by category.

I have created a statement but it is not searchin w.r.t to category
Suppose if a user a enters a keyword the query searches in 2 fields but w.r.t the CATEGORY
but my query displays all the records w.r.t the Keyword.

"SELECT * FROM t_main " _
& " where f_title LIKE '%" & Replace(vartext, "'", "''") & "%' " _
& "OR f_title LIKE '%" & Replace(vartext, "'", "''") & "%' " _
& "OR f_desc LIKE '%" & Replace(vartext, "'", "''") & "%' " _
& "AND f_catid="& varc &" "_
& "AND f_cdate>='"& varafd &"' " _
& "AND f_cdate<='"& varatd &"' " _
& "ORDER BY f_cdate;"

I am stuck where i am getting wrong!
Please help!
Thank you.

what is w.r.t.???
I don't understand what you're wanting?

Memnoch:

wrt = with respect to.



neo:

I understood the "wrt" part, but not what you're trying to accomplish. SQL seems fine. Give a more elaborate example so that us dumb ones can understand better. :)

Hi!
I have attached a screen shot of the same to have a brief idea.
Here the user selects a category(Nature of the Document) and from which date he wants to search by filling from date and to date fields.
THe above query picks up the data with respect to the keyword instead of the category first.
I hope i explained it clear.
Please please help.
