This page shows the typical way that is set up.

I'm getting a type mismatch?

Dim rs As Object
Set rs = Me.Recordset.Clone
rs.FindFirst "[Kit TOTE Number] = " & Str(Nz(Me![totenumber], 0))

Here's a sample that shows how I do this. The form opens empty. You choose a value from the combo and the form is requeried to show the selected record. It takes one line of code and a query with a where clause.

Dim rs As Object
Set rs = Me.Recordset.Clone
rs.FindFirst "[Kit TOTE Number] = " & Str(Nz(Me![totenumber], 0))

If [Kit TOTE Number] is a numeric then try

rs.FindFirst "[Kit TOTE Number] = " & Nz(Me![totenumber], 0)

if it's text the combo box value needs to be in quotes so try

rs.FindFirst "[Kit TOTE Number] = '" & Nz(Replace(Me![totenumber],"'","''"), 0) & "'"

In either case the Str function shouldn't be necessary. The Replace function is added to escape single quotes. If you don't have that and there is a single quote in the combobox value you will get syntax errors.
