>Using a text box for the user to input a search string, I want to run a query as they type against a table looking the string they have typed anywhere in the field, not just the starting with. Normally, all my searches use a grid with the ingrid, but to my knowledge I can't do a contains with that search.

How big is the table you are wanting to search?

The reason I ask is that contains searches are not very fast (at least I have not found them to be) on large tables.

So to move the file as they type and do a contains search may be somewhat chunky in how fast it returns.
