Limit characters to numbers
How do I limit a search field so the end user can only enter 7 digits and be in number format only?

What I really need to do is setup an Access database, I am very familiar with Access,
but I have no idea how to even start with ODBC. If I had a simple databse to start with that I could look at and take apart and change. This would be a great help to me.
As far as .asp I know very little about this. What do you suggest I do?
Thanks

Good choice!
As an aside 90% of the questions I answer in here are related to just that. FP can't do exactly what we want it to. Usually ASP can. 8-)
Great sites for ASP components/tutorials include:
www.asp101.com
www.activeserverpages.com
www.asphole.com
As for a search script...
http://asp101.com/samples/db_search.asp
Either download or view the ASP code...it is well documented.
You can always post here for more help, or ask ASP specific questions in the ASP topic area. In here, you get input mostly from me. In there you get help from dozens!
Does this help?

Paul.....does any of this help, or do you require further information?

I went to these pages, but I think .asp is over my head. I need a sample ODBC to see what is involved. I know Access pretty well.

There is no way to set these parameters within the wizard itself and because this is one of those features which needs to be "published" there is also no way to modify the html externally.
You could easily build a search feature in ASP to do what you require though. Is this an option? If you can run ASP on the server, I could walk you through it.
