I have created a very simple database to record phone calls that are made to
our retail outlets. I have been tasked to add a field for the actual delivery
time in relation to the phone call. I have my form set up as data entry,
mainly to save me from myself.

What I need to be able to do is to be able to search through those form
records, find the form I need, and modify it to include the actual delivery
time. Right now, due to the need for expediency, I wrote a quick query where
I can add this information, but I need to open and close the query to enter
new data. It works, but it is tediously slow going. I know that there is an
easier way to do this, but my overtaxed mind is missing it. Any help that you
can offer would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
 
well, if you wrote a query to find a specific record, you can use that
criteria to do a Find on the recordset of the form instead. you'll need an
unbound control on the form to enter the criteria, and then probably a
command button to call the Find code. does this point you in the right
direction, or am i misunderstanding the question?
