I want to be able to select a field in my
database in the combobox, type a value in an associated text box, click a
button and display all records that match that value.
Can somebody explain to me on how to do this.
I've been told that it involves programming which i can't do.

Before "reinventing the wheel" which almost certainly involves programming,
have a look at:

Filter By Form
and
Filter By Selection

For Filter By Form, with an open form. choose Records ... Filter ... Filter
By Form.

For Filter By Selection, simply right-click on the selected data and choose
Filter By Selection. You can also right-click and type in a value (and use
wildcards) to filter on.
