Not sure what to call what I'm attempting to do,
decided on dynamic queries. I should mention that I've
been working with databases for just a little over a
month. 

Example could be many web sites, but let's say Expedia
(the travel site..booking flights, cars, etc)
My understaning is that the SQL statements are
contained in a recordset, but variables would be
passed back into the sql statement based on the
particulars of the user's input?  Is that correct, is
that the only way ?

Further along, when someone wants to save a search ,
say like on Monster, is that done via a view or a
"personal" recordset they can call too when needed?

I'm reading around and trying to determine the best
way.  

One last item, if my assumptions are correct in the
passing of variables back to the recordset. In one of
my tables, I have 5 different fields for say "dog
types".  dog1 dog2 dog3 dog4 dog5.  Can I just use one
user input field and then scan all 5 fields in the
record ?

Thank you,
Stuart
Sorry for the beginner questions.
