Mihail: That worked really well, thank you! Now I have to figure out how to display the records on the report that ideally would have the highlighted search words in the reported field. Can I pass the input keywords through a query that would allow for them to be highlighted in the report?

In a new field or in the memofield where the keywords are searching? If the latter, then the code returns all records if a kw is left blank, because I tried it that way.

Thanks for all the great responses. I put in the following code in a module after creating the new field in the query and received an error message - Compile Error: Block If without End If: Public Function ShowThisRecord(strText As String) As String ShowThisRecord = True If...

What do you mean by a "regular module"?

can you take a couple of minutes and explain instr, memofield, and "nz" what they do ... just for future reference. I haven't tried the code yet, but I notice there is double parenthesis )) at the end where does that begin?

What I have is a problem where users will select the department in which is impacted by request so for instance for project #1 marketing, advertising and h.r. can be chosen in a combobox. How can I relate that to contacts associated with each department and have them populated in a form...
