We have a general cross-reference excel sheet which I want to convert into a table and work into our Visual FoxPro program. I want to setup a search feature and have it search thru various tables, memo fields, this new cross-reference table, etc. for what the user types in and display results kind of in the manner an internet search engine would do. I was analyzing what would be the best tools to use for an efficient search. I was considering using the ATC function. Does anyone have any other suggestions to direct me to which may work better/quicker?
