Is it possible to call windows' search function into access?

[shawnntjr]

Hi all,

I need a search function that will not just open files based on their names but also drill into the documents and search based on what's in it. The only way I can see now is to use the Window's search function (the one at the start button). Is it possible to call that function into access?

Or better yet, how do I re-create the search style of the windows search bar for a specific folder? Something like streamreader

What you want is th CommonDialog. It has become easier to use with the more current versions of Access.
