Found Records Only

Greetings,
I'm more accustomed to using Lotus Approach as a data base. With Lotus
queries, you can specify many search criteria and parameters and the result
will only show the found records matching the search. In this way the view
of the data is filtered and easier to deal with and also you can export the
found records into various file types.
I'm finding with Access that the "find" feature is much like it is in Excel.
You type in a single value and it takes your cursor into the cell matching
that value. This is most troubling due to its limitations. Can anyone help
me with this. Surely Access has better capabilities than this.
Thank you.

You would create a query and set up your various criteria to limit the
records. Once you have created this query (with a limited list of results)
you can then use it to build reports, forms, etc.

Post back if that does not answer your questions.

Find locates records in the existing set of records that have been filtered (or not).
Filter limits the number of records displayed.
