I have designed a data entry form in MS Access 2003. One function I find frustrating is when I want to find a particular record while using this entry form. If I use the Edit>Find facility, for instance, looking for someone with the last name "Jones", eg, I must page through all the Joneses in the database by using either the "Next" button or by pressing the "Enter" key. This works but if I pass by the Jones I am looking for, I have to go all the way back to the first record and then slowly repeat the above process to find the Jones record I was looking for in the first place.
I am wondering if there is some VBA code somewhere that would pop up a table, for example, of all the Jones records in my database. Then I could simply click on the Jones' record of interest in this pop up table and go directly to this record in my data entry form.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
 
use the combo box box wizard to find a record
