With only 100 rows you can use Data.recordset.findfirst. Then put the cursor to a column using the col property<br />

will this allow wild card search as well?<br />
eg if someone is searching for Smith then SmithField should be<br />
highlighted as well.<br />

You can use any pattern that is valid in recordset's search. When to record is found, no matter what the criteria is, the dbgrid's current record set t the record that was found. Then you just need to put the selection to the column you were searching using the .cols proprty. If you post a specific situation, i will give a sample code.<br />

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
here is the question :-&gt; <br />
say I have retrieved 100s of rows of data in dbgrid eg names of employees,now I want to find eg John smith , one way to do this is to force the user to look through rows and find it OR we may give them the find option as in MS word, but how can I put the cursor to that particular column matching the search result and make that column highlighted? <br />
<br />
any suggestions?

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
