ctrl+F doesn't return no find

[ebodin]

I've been using the ctrl+F search in order to search my db for a string or phrase (from a form). Now, after I put it on the Intranet and accesss it through there, I use ctrl+F and if I search for something that is not there, it doesn't return a "did not find" box. It's like it just keeps searching.

Is using the find feature like this just bad form and I should write queries for users to search the db?

Comments/critiques/criticisms welcome. Thanks.

The problem is that the Web server also looks at your input stream now, not just Access. Gates alone knows what happens to a CTRL/F when it passes through a web server. Or maybe a pass-through is exactly what DOESN'T happen in all cases.

I think you would do better to write queries for users to search the DB.
