    <p>I am currently able to search through some text and find the first matching string. This moves from left to right, and each time "btnFindNext" is clicked, the next matching string is selected. </p> <p>However, I now want to make it possible so that the search moves from right to left. I am using the RichTextBoxFind.Reverse method, and indeed this selects the first matching string from the right. However, when the user clicks "btnFindNext" again, the next matching string is not selected. Any ideas why?</p> <p>Edit: I've added the code I am currently using to select from left to right.</p> <p>The user first presses 'Find' and this is the code.</p> <pre><code> startFrom = RichTextBox.Find(textToFind.Text, RichTextBox.SelectionStart, RichTextBoxFinds.None) If lastposition &lt;&gt; -1 Then RichTextBox.SelectionStart = startFrom RichTextBox.SelectionLength = textToFind.Text.Length startFrom = startFrom + 1 Else MsgBox(cboFFindWhat.Text &amp; " Not Found") End If </code></pre> <p>The user then presses 'FindNext'. This is the code for that.</p> <pre><code>startFrom = RichTextBox.Find(textToFind.Text, startFrom, RichTextBoxFinds.None) If startFrom &lt;&gt; -1 Then RichTextBox.SelectionStart = startFrom RichTextBox.SelectionLength = textToFind.text.length startFrom = startFrom + 1 Else MsgBox(textToFind.Text &amp; " Not Found") End If </code></pre> <p>The above 2 sections of code work perfectly for searching down a document. I now want to make it possible so that the user can search upwards. How is this achieved? Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance!</p>

    2. COHave yo looked at [create-a-find-form-for-a-richtextbox](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/837331/how-do-i-create-a-find-form-for-a-richtextbox) See the second answer. If that does not help you post the code for the reverse part.

    3. COHi Pat, I've tried the second answer and it doesn't work for me. My code is the same for the reverse part. I believe the code I uploaded has an error, I'll update it. The code within my question is the code I am using for the normal find. How would I turn this into the reverse?

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
