Sure, just not with one call or one result set.
You'll have to do them individually then combine.

Of course. You simply perform two searches and aggregate the results.

Search two databases with ASP?

Hi,

I have a newbie question: is it possible to make a search form in asp that
searches in two different databases (access)?

Are you talking about two different databases, or two different tables?

If two databases, see prior responses.

If two tables, then you can do:

sql = "SELECT field FROM table1 WHERE field = '" & keyword & "'"
sql = sql & " UNION "
sql = sql & " SELECT field FROM table2 WHERE field = '" & keyword & "'"

Hi Adrienne,

Yes I'am talking about two (or more) whole databases (for combining two
tables I'd rather use a query).
I've read the two prior responses, but they're not very clear to me yet.

Regards,

Willem

If you want to use the sorting abilities in ADO, do a select in each
database, and insert the results into a disconnected recordset. Then
you could do a select on the disconnected recordset for sorting
purposes.

Or just stick the results of each database into an array and sort
manually.
