I would like to have a box on my form that I can type a customer number in and have that record show in the form - I don't want to use the find box on the toolbar.. I want it inside the form.

Any help would be SO appreciated! Thanks!

Create a combo box using the Wizard. On the first screen of the Wizard select the 3rd item, "Find a record....". Finish the Wizard. Now when you start typing in the Customer number the combo box will take you to the correct one and then show the customer details on the form when you press the enter key...
