ACC: How to Search for Microsoft Access Articles by Keywords

ID: Q119526


The information in this article applies to:


SUMMARY

Novice: Requires knowledge of the user interface on single-user computers.

Every Microsoft Access Knowledge Base (KB) article contains a keyword formed from the article's category and subcategory. You can query on this keyword to help you find specific groups of articles.

The category and subcategory of Microsoft Access KB articles are abbreviated and concatenated to form a unique word that you can query on. For example, FmsCmbo stands for Forms, Combo/List Box, where Forms is the category and Combo/List Box is the subcategory. Note that the first letter of the category and the first letter of the subcategory are capitalized. If the subcategory consists of more than one word, additional letters may be capitalized as in IntPubWiz, where Internet is the category and "Publish to the Web Wizard" is the subcategory. This capitalization does not affect your queries; it is intended to make it easier for you to recognize the subcategory.

For more information about how to query the Microsoft Access KB using these keywords, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
