i built a find record control button so a user can type in the form number
and go there but it only searches the field that the cursor is in and the
form # is not on the tab order(purposely). How can i specify where the find
record function searches? thanks
 
Ryan,
usually people use an unbound combo box or an unbound text box for
searching.
There is a sample download with code of a search form at
http://www.allenbrowne.com/ser-62.html
If you need help to get it working, post back.

You can also use the wizard to put a combo for searching on your form.
On the form in design view, click the combo box tool, the wizard will open,
choose the 3rd option Find a record on my form . . . .
