Automatically close the Find Record form

[plucnik]

I've found several posts regarding this question but no answers...maybe I'll be the lucky one.................
Is it possible to automatically close (with a bit of VB) the (ctrl-F) Find Record input box after searching once (instead of pressing Cancel or hitting Esc)? Thanks!

This isnt much of an answer but it could work as a work around. You could develope your own record search form and have that close after the search is complete. I detach all of my forms from the tables and update the tables back after a user has filled in all the feilds. It works best for me since I can provide my users with a cancel button that actually deletes the information without it populating the database first. Though I have to build all my search forms. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply! I was considering doing just that. I really don't need anything fancy so it shouldn't be much of a chore. Just need a simple text box input to run a query off of and then populate that info into a form. Kinda weird that MS never thought that anyone would want their built in find box closed automatically....................
