Folks,

I have a DB for tracking employee data. It is set up so that the user scrolls through first names, second name gets looked up automatically and relevant data is called up into several 'sub pages' or tabs...all fine and well.

The problem is that the user has to click a 'next record' or 'previous record' command button to advance or go back one record. This gets tedious when the list starts at A and they are looking for a name starting with S. Does anyone know of a way (in Access 2000) to set up the record navigation buttons to scroll forwards (or backwards) as long as the mouse button is held down ?. The speed of scrolling should be quick but not so fast as to be unreadable (I realise that this is to some extent machine dependant).

Any tips gratefully received....Kees

Why not use combo box then the user simply types the first few letters and access 'drills down' to those records that start with whatever was typed in????

Why don't you use a combo box to find a record. Use the wizzard and it will guide you through. That way they just select the name from the list and it goes to that person. I use it all the time it works great.

HTH
