I have noticed that the textarea fields of a form I designed do not seem
to respond to SQL queries. However, the single line text fields appear
to function OK. Why is this so? 

I have some considerable chunks of text in a number of text area fields,
and I want to do freetext search on information in these. How do I
achieve that? There is an example in the FAQ on Borlands web pages, but
that did not make me any wiser. In all examples I have seen on queries,
there seems to be a particular string being searched for. I may have
missed a point here, but I cannot possibly see the real use of searching
for fixed text strings. 

I am very new to database development, so apologies for any daft
questions.

One final question: How do I change the date fields to accept data in
dd/mm/yy format, and not the mm/dd/yy format?

Please notify me by e-mail as well.

Thanks,
