Access 2000 help

gwilks98 · 09-25-2000, 10:59 AM

I have no Access 2000 experience and my boss wants me to build a searchable dbase. I need to create a searchable help database for network connectivity on our campus. The basic idea he wants is, you type in a question, and the database will search a help table by looking at keywords in the user input. It would then bring up a list of topics that the user could select from. (much like a searchable FAQ) Can anyone give me some tips on how to go about accomplishing this??

Thanks,

Wilks

What types of data will you be including in the db? Things like IP's, gateways, domains, etc. or different types of networking equipment.

If it's more of a faq type thing you may want to go with a knowledgebase instead of Access.

Just some thoughts from an intermediate Access user.
