        TextBox1.Visible = False


        sql = "Select * from Elementary where SchoolName like '%" & TextBox1.Text & "%' or SY LIKE '%" & TextBox1.Text & "%'"

        dt = New DataTable
        Try
            'open the connection
            con.Open()
            'bind the SQL and the connection through OleDBDataAdaoter and stored to da
            da = New OleDb.OleDbDataAdapter(sql, con)
            'and whatever the value of da will be fill into dt our imaginary data table
            da.Fill(dt)
            'get the datasource of datagridview from our data table
            dtgresult.DataSource = dt

        Catch ex As Exception
            'will throw an error if something went wrong.
            MsgBox(ex.Message, MsgBoxStyle.Information)
        End Try
        'close connection
        con.Close()
    End Sub

Never concatenate values from user to the SQL statement. It leaves you open to SQL injection, see SQL injection - Wikipedia[^]

I would suggest going through Properly executing database operations[^]. It should give you ideas how to work with SQL from VB. Even though SqlConnection is used in the article, the principle is the exact same for OleDbConnection.

I am guessing form the statement dtgresult.DataSource = dt that dtgresult is a data grid of some kind. Create a DatagridView on your form and give it the name dtgresult and see what happens.
