Greetings from Baghdad.

 

I am not one to ask for help until I have absolutely driven myself to the
edge. It is my hope that you or one of your experts can shed some light on
what I am trying to get Access to do.

 

There are actually two things, but first an explanation of what the database
does. A team of translators interpret local Iraqi newscasts which are
transcribed and input into the database. These transcriptions are referred
back to on a regular basis via requests to my office by the higher-ups. A
typical request would be along the lines of "Give me the instances over the
past two weeks Prime Minister Maliki has said he likes the U.S." or, "Give
me every article referring to IED's exploding in the past month"

 

A simple query of course, returns the date range and all articles whereas
the word "Maliki" appears. I am helped by the fact that Maliki does not
appear in the dictionary so I can scan through the articles, deleting those
that are not relevant. I cannot however discern when IED is actually part of
another word. 

 

What I would like to accomplish, is highlighting my text query, much like
Google does in its cached pages. So, those words that I search for are
highlighted, giving me a visual reference. 

 

I have tried constructing a macro to do the action and have also searched
high and low in the Help files and the Internet.. Perhaps this makes perfect
sense to you and you can point me in the right direction.

 

Thank you in advance for your time.
