Problem with "Search box" in Help window
We are using Excel 2003 on XP. This problem is occuring for all users. When you click Help-Microsoft Excel Help, and try to type in the Search for: box under Assistance, the text is inserted into the spreadsheet instead. The only way you can manage to enter any text into this box is to copy it, then right-click paste it into that box (Edit-Paste and Ctrl+V do not work) I can't find anything in the kbase (except for the tip about pasting). What is up with this?

txt search box returns all records when wildcard is entered
I have used a simple textbox search originally created by Graham Thorpe [Event Procedure]. When I open my search form If I type in and abbreviated search text for example 206 vs. 206-030-987-101 It returns all of the records in the database. If I search on 206-030-987-101 it will find that specific record and display it, but all records are available. I would like help with using the textbox search to bring up only those records containing the exact match if one is available and not physically being able to view any other records in the current form.

search box is missing
I'm using Outlook 2002 and the search box to find emails and stuff dissapeared. I usually use google desktop search but if an item is archived it will find it with google desktop but it wont open it because the index doesn't know it moved or something. So most of the time I find it best to just use the regular outlook search. However it seems to have gone away and I can't figure out how to get it back. I have an address bar that has outlook:Sent or other folders like that, I could have sworn that's where the search box was before. If you click on the Find icon on the a...
