Question : multiple search terms?

Ok, I used a query to search a table using:  Like "*" & [Please enter your search term(s)] & "*"  But this only seems to work when you only have one word to search for,  how could I modify this so you can search more than one word?  IE  "John smith" instead of just "john"

Answer : multiple search terms?

No problem I'm guessing that you version of Access is prior to 2000, replace is a function that became available in Access 2000... Or was it XP... I can't remember...

you can write your own replace function by

Public Function Replace(MyStr, ToReplace, ReplaceWith)
  Dim ReturnVal
  For I = 1 to len(myStr)
     If (mid(myStr,i,1)=ToReplace)
        ReturnVal = ReturnVal & ReplaceWith
    else
        ReturnVal = ReturnVal & mid(myStr,i,1)
    end if
  next
  Replace=ReturnVal
end function

Simply put the below function in a module.  You can then call it as needed
