[AccessD] Search Memo field for number string

In the FMS 2000 code source book there is a class called CBoyerMoore which
I've used and which I think is exactly what you are looking for:

"The Boyer-Moore string-searching algorithm provides a highly optimized
method for searching for a sub-string within a string. The Boyer-Moore
algorithm takes advantage of its knowledge of the string being searched for.
By doing this, it is possible to search a string without examining all the
characters in the string. "

If you have access to this code book I would suggest trying it out.

Subject: [AccessD] Search Memo field for number string


I need to search a memo field for any string of any numbers sequenced as
follows,  ### #### or ###.#### or ###-#### or ####### . I also want to bold
the
number sequence found in each memo field. Anyone have any ideas on how to
setup
this query? Thanks for any help!
