can you search a database

do u know how do do a search on a database for text? using an input box

Try using the value of the inputbox
in the query for your search

I was wondering if you could do a general search
that is all???

How do you mean a general search.:confused:

Do you want to use your inputbox for a search on
one table or do you wanna search through all of
the tables.

Because i think it's very much the same, if you use a
sql statement like

"select * from table(s) where value = inputbox"


I hope this is what you meant.
