I would like to konw if Microsoft Access have a feature that permits to
include in a form a box with the function of finding a record at the time a
key is being typed. Otherwise, if somebody knows a Visual Basic routine that
performs that operation.
 
Hi Miguel,

If you use the on change event for a text box and apply a filter to your
list of records (works best if your data is displayed in continuous form
view) then it will "find" the records as you type by applying a filter each
step of the way.

The feature is built in.

Simply place a combo box on your form using the wizard...follow the prompts
for the option to "find a record"....

It will create the code for you....
