Finding Records Based on Text Inputs

[fraser_lindsay]

Hello

I am trying to set up a user friendly front end to my database. I would like to have a form which allows the user to enter information into text boxes and then press a button which finds the relevant record(s).

I would like to use it to pin point an employee's record based on at least one piece of information, but possibly combined with up to four more by entering into these boxes. For example personnel number, surname, first name etc.

Is this possible and how do I go about setting it up?

I am aware of the filter function and queries but I can't seem to get either to operate in the way I have envisaged. They don't appear to offer the most user friendly solution, at least not in the format I have tried.


Apologies, but I am still getting to grips with access to be honest.

I include a help screen that shows the user how to use Filter by Form. With Filter by Form the user can easily find records that meet a variety of criteria.
