Microsoft Database search box.

I created a database to keep track of book collection. How can I create/input a search box in this database?

Can you specify more then just "Micorosft Database"?

Are you talking about MS Acess, talking about MS SQL database or what?

Sorry, MS Access.

So you currently just have a table with your data in it.

So you need a form to put a text box in to actually search your database, you need a query (this is what searches your table for the data you inputed in the form), and then you either need to open the data in another form or in a report.
Here is some different tutorials:

This is not really a novice task as you need to have some level of understanding of databases and passing variables.

I haven't had any experience with MS Access in the past. It was just always THERE, not being used. Hmm.. Yes, I assumed it would. Thank you.
