Hi. Thanks. Since I am not familiar with your database, can you please give me a step by step instructions on how to duplicate the issue? I tried your form, but I'm not sure I am using it correctly.

Sorry, I'm still lost. This is the only form in your db. Where is the "search" button to click?

Okay, so I select Cheese Line 1 and then click on the Search button and got four (4) numbers as a result. What should I do next to see the problem?

Hi. I'm trying to help you, but since I am not familiar with your database (I don't use it everyday), I can't do that until I understand how it works. So, as I said above, I selected Cheese Line 1 and clicked on the search button to get four numbers in the result. What do I do next to see the problem you're seeing, which I really don't know what that (the problem) is yet.

 

[jeannier1975]

double click on the one of the numbers
then record pulls up

 

[jeannier1975]

then when you hit clear to enter a new search instance nothing happens

 

[theDBguy]

double click on the one of the numbers
then record pulls up

Okay, done. It did. Now what's next... and what is supposed to happen?

 

[jeannier1975]

when u hit clear and enter new department to search nothing happens it suppose to pull all project numbers for that department

 

[theDBguy]

then when you hit clear to enter a new search instance nothing happens

You mean the "Clear" button at the top, right? When I clicked it, it emptied out all the search terms and the result. What else is supposed to happen?
