Is there a way to use a find command to pull up a record in form view for editing??
This is a simple contact database...names addresses etc. and I have created a form to enter new records. I want to be able to pull up existing records in that form...or a version of it for modifications and additions...

Are the record navigation controls still functional? If so, you should still be able to navigate to previous records and edit. Now all you need is the combo box: there's a wizard which searches for the record based on the info you select (name, zip code, whatever).

I found that if I tried to search in add mode then it just added a new record. I couldn't search in the primary key field because it had assigned an autonumber.
So now I just use CTRL F with the cursor in whichever field I want to search in ie Company Name.
If anyone has a better way, I'd be glad to know it.
