ok here is a example , you can search your all emplyees by there names , do something like this first take a form with a grid and a textbox , now use this code at the textbox text change event.

dim con as new sqlconnection("your connection string")
con.open()
dim da as new sqldataadapter("select EmpName from emloyees where empName like '%" & textbox1.text & "%'" ,con)
dim dt as new datatable
da.fill(dt)
datagridview1.datasource = dt
con.close()

it will work fine :P Hope it will help you . if your prob will solved then please mark this thread solved.

@K.os, can you please tell us what are you using?are you using MS Access as your database?
or just a file?...and then after searching where do you want to display this in MS flexgrid?
