Forms: Searching

[Jo Ann]

Can someone please help me set up a search feature on a
form. I need to be able to search my name and by
number. Is there anyway to set it up to search by the
first letter, then second letter, etc.? Please make it
simple as I am very new at this.

How you tried using the combo box wizard, as it gives you a 3rd choice that
does this.

If you file is to be small, and only a few thousand records, then the above
is a reasonable solution.

In addition, there is while looking at a form, you can go:

Reocrds->filter->filter by form.

The above automatically turns your form into a search form for you. You
should try the above code free options before you consider writing your own
stuff. There is a good amount of built in stuff you should give a try.
