I have setup a database. I want to setup a datasheet for users to search any
field in the database. I want them to enter text in one box and it will
search every field.Is this possible in a datasheet (I would like them to use
internet explorer)

When I see "...enter text in one box and it will search every field", I
wonder about data structure.

In a well-normalized relational database, it would be neither necessary nor
appropriate to "search every field" for a value.

In a spreadsheet, you'd probably have to use multiple columns to represent a
one-to-many relationship, so I can see having to "search every field".

Is your database a spreadsheet?

Good luck!

Thinking about it I do not need to search every field. I just need a boxes I
can type in to search. I want to setup a database of names and addresses and
give users read rights only. I thought a datasheet in html format would be
the best way to do it.
