Re: Implementing search function
You'll want a criterion choice for each search term. IOW, Genre = 'XXX' AND Country = 'YYY' OR Language = 'ZZZ', and you'll want to be able to group with parentheses - do you want a search on (Genre = 'XXX' AND Country = 'YYY') OR Language = 'ZZZ' or do you want Genre = 'XXX' AND (Country = 'YYY' OR Language = 'ZZZ')?
The GUI to produce a real search statement can be very involved, and beyond the capability of most users to understand. It's always a trade-off - do you leave the user with not very much capability, or do you overwehelm the user with capability he can't understand?
The most difficult part of developing a program is understanding the problem.
The second most difficult part is deciding how you're going to solve the problem.
Actually writing the program (translating your solution into some computer language) is the easiest part.
Please indent your code and use [HIGHLIGHT="VB"] [/HIGHLIGHT] tags around it to make it easier to read.
