microsoft access: search form

midoban — Fri, 27 Feb 2009 07:39:16 +0800

im trying to make a search form based on a database in msoft access recently. This form will have a interface which will allow the user to enter the search criteria and return the search result in one record per row. The user is not allow to change the search result data but only for view purpose.

For example, i wana search for contacts whereby its name contains "a", and this form will be able to show me the result in rows. Lets say i found "Abu", "ah chong" and many more and all this result is nicely arrange in rows.

I've tried to google around and i found the sample code in search form . However, i couldnt download the sample code file, are there anyone here could provide a similiar sample which can achieve the same outcome as mentioned above?

Would be appreciate if anyone here could help. THX!!

HTML Help Workshop (HHW)

midoban — Wed, 14 Mar 2007 20:42:23 +0800

Im using HHW to write a help file for my software. This is how i do it:

1. I wrote the help description together with some image as guidance in some Microsoft Word files. Then i save the msoft word files as webpage (.htm)

2. After that i add those htm files into the HHW.

After i compile the HHW, i can read the help file but the image cannot be displayed.

Are there any steps that i have skipped before compile the file? Thanks for showing me the right procedure.
