This can be done without too much trouble. Start by creating a text box on the page, then on the button click event, query the database based on the textbox content, for example if the box will contain a name or fragment of the name, then use this as your command text:\n"SELECT * FROM [table] WHERE [field] LIKE '%" + TextBox1.Text + "%'"\n\nThis query will return anything that starts with, contains, or ends with the text in box 1.  Then you display that data by binding the datatable the contains the new data with your datagrid. \n\nGood Luck!

ok I give some hints\nIf you want to refer to a database from Excel you need to add the ADO 2.8 objects Library. \nHow to proceed?\nFrom the Visual basic editor, click on tools (menu bar) and then reference. look for Microsoft Activex Data objects 2.8 library and tick it.\nNow you should have access to ADO objects.\nTo learn how to use these objects try the msdn microsoft website, full of advice and templates\n\nIf you want an example from me, give me a valid email address where i can send you an excel workbook and small access data base for it takes too long to explain

Try the Visual Basic Bible.  It'll set you back around $50, but it's an awesome book.

Well don't know the version of access you are using...\n\nFor Access 2003\nhttp://office.microsoft.com/en-us/access/HP051874901033.aspx

Will the Microsoft Access viewer not work? It's free.\n\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=B73DF33F-6D74-423D-8274-8B7E6313EDFB&displaylang=en\n\nGood Luck.

MS-Access is generally regarded as a backend tool (a tool for storage of data). You have to use some front end tool like VB with Access. In such a case you  have to write snippets that manipulate the data and return a result from the backend. Inturn this front end can be converted into an executable file.\n\nVB is just an example of front-end tool that can be used . You can also use ASP, PHP, CFML, Flash files as the front end.

Here's a code snippet that you should be able to paste into a form module and give it a try ... there are obviously many ways to tackle the issue ... this is just one of them.  To use this code you'll need a reference in your VB6 project to a Microsoft ActiveX Data Access Library (like 2.6).  Good luck!\n\nDim rs As Recordset\nDim cn As Connection\n\nDim DBPath As String\nDBPath = App.Path & "&#92;customer.mdb"\nSet cn = New Connection\ncn.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & DBPath\n\nSet rs = New Recordset\nrs.CursorLocation = adUseClient\nrs.Open "SELECT * FROM tblCustomers WHERE CustomerID=" & 1, _\n    cn, adOpenStatic, adLockOptimistic

An Access database is just an ordinary file.  Use the My .ComputerFileSystem .CopyFile function.  This requires VB 2005.\n\n(Spaces added to foil Yahoo! mangling.)

Download the free edition of Visual Basic 2005 from the first link below.  When you register, you get access to a free e-book which I think is a great introduction to the system.\n\nThe other two links are Microsoft's sites for Visual Basic and .NET

I don't know if what you looking for is possible. The way it sounds you want search terms entered and then based on those, it will decide which page to go to. A better way is to have a search page that displays results and allows them to be clicked on and then displays the page. \n\nThis would definitly take some script of some sort. I prefer using ASP.NET and C#. However, this can be done many different ways. If you would use C# or VB, there are visual tools you can use to create a connection to your database, create a data table within your web application and then display the corresponding data.\n\nFor more information see:\nhttp://www.asp.net\n\nThat site contains a lot of information.\n\nGood luck!

You can use Tables from MS Access or MS SQL Server Already loaded with Data

Are you using .NET?\nIf so, I've done it in C#.\nI don't expect there will be all too big of a difference between the two. Also, if you're doing this for a website, I'd highly recommend MySQL over Access. Acess will bomb out on you -- especially if there are multiple concurrent connections. Send me an email if you need more help on it.\n\nusing System.Data.OleDb; //This might be different in C++\n\npublic void ConnectToDatabase()\n{\n  OleDbConnection dbConn;\n  string strConnection;\n\n  strConnection = @"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=&#92;somepath&#92;mydb.mdb;User Id=admin;Password=;";\n/*go to www.connectionstrings.com for more info on connection strings*/\n\n  dbConn = new OleDbConnection(strConnection);\n  dbConn.Open();\n\n  //woot, the database is open!\n  OleDbCommand cmdCommand;\n\n  cmdCommand = new OleDbCommand();\n  cmdCommand.Connection = dbConn;\n  cmdCommand.CommandText = "SELECT * FROM tblItem";\n\n  OleDbDataReader rdReader;\n\n  rdReader = cmdCommand.ExecuteQuery();\n\n/*\nThe read function advances to the next row and returns true upon success\n*/\n  while(rdReader.Read())\n  {\n     //This command shows a pop-up of the string\n     //In Row #1 of the results (#0 is the first row)\n     MessageBox.Show(rdReader.GetString(1));\n  }\n\n  rdReader.Close(); //always close your reader or it gets mad\n  dbConn.Close();\n}

To connect to an MS Access databse use this code:\n\n<CFQUERY NAME="rs" \n DBTYPE="dynamic" \n CONNECTSTRING="Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};Dbq=c:&#92;db&#92;mydb.mdb;Uid=Admin;Pwd=;"\n>\nSELECT SeekId, SeekUsername, SeekPassword from Seekers\n</CFQUERY> \n\nIncase you wan't to use an extended path use this code. \n<CFQUERY NAME="rs" \n DBTYPE="dynamic" \n CONNECTSTRING="Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};Dbq=#ExpandPath('..&#92;bettergig&#92;cgi-bin&#92;bettergig.mdb')#;Uid=Admin;Pwd=pass;"\n>\nSELECT SeekId, SeekUsername, SeekPassword from Seekers\n</CFQUERY>\n\nBoth the connections that I have described above are DNS-less connection or ready-to-connect. So you need not setup any DSN.
