Bound Object Frame

[bigguy]

If someone could help me with this one I would be grateful. I have a bound Object frame on a form where a user right clicks and selects insert object. They then select a chemistry program to draw a compound which is then inserted into the frame or box. What I am struggling with is how to setup a search form to be able to have a user enter a chemical structure from the same chemistry program and then be able to search for that chemical structure in the database.



Thank you in advance for any help provided.

By 'chemical structure' you mean symbols? This is something new and I am very doubtful Access is capable of doing what you want.

When a chemical structure is inserted in the bound object frame, access does store it and you can see the structures when looking at the records in the form.
I've put a sample of what the structures look like.

Doesn't alter my assessment.

you can use the file name for that, if they relate to the type of image you have. then search for the file name.
