I'm sure I found this somewhere before, but My hard drive crashed and I
didn't back up my bookmarks:
In my "Products" table, I store vehicles for sale and sold. I have a field
for the VIN, which is not unique, because sometimes we get the same vehicle
back more than once, so each record has a unique ID. I have a form for
entering the sale of the vehicle, on which the user finds the vehicle by the
ID number.
I also have a form for re-printing bills of sale, also used for editing
records, such as if there is a typo in the name. On this form, they also use
the same combo and find the vehicles by ID number, but sometimes they don't
know the ID number, so I would like to be able to search by VIN, but I would
like the user to just have to enter the last 6 or 8 digits, instead of the
whole thing. I don't know the syntax for that.
