selecting records for a report

[Guest]

i am a complete novice at this so please bear with me.

My problem is that i have an employee database with the basic information of
name address Etc, a photo and a memo field of conversatons and interviews.

What i want to do is create a report which can search ffor a certain
employee and print a report out with the information contained in it.

I sort of got it but it won't let me select which employee i want the report
for. It only prints out the same person even though i have the form open to
the employee i want to print out.

I have a print report command key which i would idealy like to use the
search key and when i found the employee i want to print out press the print
report and it come out for that employee .

PLEASE HELP

taipan,
Lots of ways to do that, but...
If you already have an employee form, I'd suggest doing it from there.
On my web (below) site I have a file (v97 and v2003) called Combo Quick Find, which
will demonstrate how to add a combo box to your employee form, and use it find a
specific employee record very easily.
On that form, you can also place a Print This Employee button that will print a report
just for the employee being displayed.

So, try out the demo file, and apply it to your employee form, then come on back if you
need further help on specific issues..
