Hi

open a Connection(Cn), and use this code:

dim RST As New ADODB.RecordSet
Dim sSQL As String
sSQL="Select * From MyTable Where UCASE(FName) Like '*" & ucase(text1.text)  & "*'"
Set RST =Nothing
RST.Open sSQl,Cn
IF RST.EOF Then
  MsgBox  "Records Not Found"
Else
  MsgBox "Record Found"
End IF

"select * from solution_database where ucase(search_term) like '*" + UCase(Text4.Text) + "*'"

Hi,

what is ur back end..?
the above works for Access. Replace * with % for other db's

what is the field name ...? search_term..?
What is Solution_database...? table name..?

search_term is field name and solution_database is table name
