creating the equivalent of navigation buttons

[dd/mm/yy]

hi all

[newbie] i want to create the equivalent of the navigation buttons set in the bottom of my access form, i can do the move next, prev, first, last and new record using command buttons, however i want to create the feature of allowing the user to enter the number of the record they want to view and then hitting enter (or clicking the button) and view it.

i wondered if this could be done with a macro however i had a look and found no function that would do something like this, as i need to get input off the user to know which record to go to. i guess maybe a text box and then a button but have no real idea how to implement this....

if anybody has any ideas, i'd be very grateful

thanks

Hi and welcome to the forum...

I think traditionally what you would like to do is create a query for searching/retrieving and a form for entering the criteria of your search for that query. This will then display the required record(s) that the user would like in either a form or report depending how you set it up.
