What do you mean by search?
I dont understand with the information you gave.
Could you please explain more?

[LAURENS]

You have to elaborate a bit on it but it boils down to this:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim strTextToSearch As String

strTextToSearch = InputBox("Enter text to search")

If InStr$(1, Text1, strTextToSearch) <> 0 Then
MsgBox "Found it"
else
MsgBox "Not there"
End If

End Sub

LAURENS Could you please explain the purpose of searching a text box..why would someone want to search a textbox? is it related to passwords? or security or spell checking?
The idea seems cool but i dont see a reason for it.
Thanks.

in school sometimes you have to read a text file into a text box...perhaps it's a learning curve and someone needs to search a textbox for a given string.

I don't know why Stick wants to search a textbox, I'm just trying to answer his question.
Ask him.
